New Delhi, Nov 23 (IANS) The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 strengthens collective bargaining, dispute resolution, and job security through clearer, uniform provisions. The Code empowers workers with uniform definitions while granting employers greater flexibility in operations and ease of doing business. Overall, it aims to foster industrial peace, boosts productivity, and supports a balanced, growth-oriented work environment, according to an official statement issued on Sunday.

To ensure that more workers have access to basic labour rights, the definition of ‘worker’ has been expanded to include sales promotion employees, working journalists, and supervisory employees earning up to Rs 18,000 per month, thereby extending statutory labour protections to a wider segment of the workforce.
