Labour Minister V. Sivankutty said here on Saturday that many of the provisions in the four labour codes introduced by the Centre by integrating 29 labour laws went against the interests of workers.
It failed to recognise the legitimate rights of employees while some laws even went against the principles approved by the International Labour Organisation.
The State government, in framing the draft rules for the four new Labour Codes passed by the Centre, tried its best to protect the rights of workers as much as possible within the statutory limitations, Minister for Labour V. Sivankutty said in the House on Tuesday.
