Kothagudem: Dr GSR Trust presents ‘Shramika Ratna’ awards to workers

As many as 100 workers who have rendered the best services in various fields were presented the awards

Kothagudem: There was a need to oppose the 12-hour shift being proposed by the Centre with its four labour codes that were detrimental to the working class, stated Dr. GSR Charitable Trust chairman, Director Public Health Dr. Gadala Srinivasa Rao.

He said the eight-hour workday movement was the main reason behind the inception of Labour Day to promote a schedule of eight hours for labour, eight hours for recreation and eight hours for rest. But the new labour codes were aimed to change that work regime.
