A cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, gave the nod to the Kerala State Labour Policy, which envisages making the state more employee-friendly and ensuring social security and decent wages to all workers. According to an official release, the new policy advocates stringent action against the "unhealthy practices" that exist in the employment sector. Strengthening of employer-employee relationship to avoid labor disputes, the formation of a labor bank to protect the job and interests of domestic laborers are among the major recommendations in the new policy.
