Modi government’s bold attempt to introduce the Shram Shakti NITI-2025 policy – working class will resist unitedly.

The government’s recent unveiling of the “Draft National Labour Employment Policy - Shram Shakti NITI-2025”, has sparked widespread criticism from the trade unions. The policy released on 08th October, 2025, without consultation of the central trade unions during the drafting of the new policy. The policy is seen as favouring employer profits over workers right and social security. The trade unions are in the opinion that, it will be a serious challenge for the working class particularly on the issue of defining working conditions, rights for fundamental activities of the workers, minimum wage and also social securities. According to their opinion, this new policy may dilute existing labour laws and regulations and due to lack of robust social security measures may lead to increase exploitation of the workers. The trade unions had vowed to fight against the Shram Shakti NITI-2025 policy, emphasising the need for a united struggle to protect workers right.
