The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, 23 September, passed three crucial labour law bills in the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's labour reform initiatives.
The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; the Industrial Relations Code, 2020; and the Code on Social Security, 2020 were passed when the Opposition was not present in the House as part of its protest against the government's two farm Bills passed on Sunday amid widespread protest in various state by farmers.
The Opposition parties had boycotted the House before the Bill was moved in the House for its passage.
