Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday said the central government, through its labour policies is minimising workers' rights and prioritising corporate interests.
He was speaking at the Labour Conclave organised by the state government here against the newly introduced labour code by the
Centre.
Vijayan said that the world around us is changing rapidly, with shifts in technology and production methods, but raised the question of who these changes are meant to benefit.
"Are these changes aimed at improving the living conditions of the common people, who form the majority, or at increasing the profits of a minority of corporates?" he asked.
