Factories Act 1948

The Tamil Nadu government has decided to withhold amendments to the Factories Act, 1948, which was passed last week amid strong criticism and protests.

The Karnataka government today issued a notification allowing women to work in night shifts (7 pm to 6 am) in all factories registered under the factories act.

Six-year-old Babu's (name changed) face was shining with sparkles he was embellishing bangles with and has been working for almost 15 hours when he was rescued from a bangle-making unit in West Delhi, a few years ago. He was barely able to recollect his parents' names.

The The Small Factories (Facilitation and Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Services) Bill, 2015, which aims to regulate the employment and other conditions of service of employees employed in small factories, is likely to be tabled in next Parliament session.

The NDA government is all set to move amendment proposals to Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Bill and Factories Act, 1948 and introduce a Draft Bill on Small Factories (Regulation of Employment and Condition of Service) in the upcoming Budget session, Union Labour Minister B Dattatreya said on Saturday.
