Kerala Industries Minister calls for creation of new opportunities for workers
Nokkukooli, or the practice of insisting on compensation for notional works, should not be considered a right. At the same time, workers’ opportunities should not be denied and new opportunities should be created, said Industries Minister P. Rajeeve here on Sunday. He was speaking at the inauguration of the second day of a workshop on labour code organised by the Kerala Institute of Labour and Employment (KILE).
He said even while trade union leadership was taking a stand against ‘nokkukooli’, there were problems at other levels. These issues cannot be fully addressed through legal means. He appealed to KILE to create awareness among workers, officials, and employers on various issues involved, said a communication from the organisers of the workshop.
