Nearly 350 workers’ union and federation members, including about 150 women, blocked the road in front of Madurai railway junction on Tuesday, demanding repeal of the four labour codes brought out by the Union government. The protesters, led by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and affiliated bodies, alleged that the labour codes were a direct threat to workers’ interests, as they would weaken job stability and dismantle long-standing social security benefits.
