Steno SSC Grade D C Steno Dictation No. 310

Sir, as the the Hon'ble Minister has already made it clear that this Bill has been brought forward for our consideration after 20 due consultation with the Central trade unions and this Bill has been necessitated by the fact that the amendment in the Industrial Disputes Act in 1982 excluded the workers in hospitals and other educational institutions from the purview of the Act. This means that a hospital or an educational institution cannot be called an industry and if it cannot be called an industry all those who are working in those institutions cannot get the benefit from the Industrial Disputes Act of any kind. So, naturally something has to be done for all those employees of such institutions for the redressal of their grievances.
