Question

What is the title of the Bill approved by the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly that permits 12-hour work shifts?
  • Tamil Nadu Labour Rights Bill
  • Tamil Nadu Industrial Growth Bill
  • Tamil Nadu Employment and Wages Bill
  • Tamil Nadu Work Hours Extension Bill
Answer- D
The Tamil Nadu Assembly's approval of the Factories (Amendment) Act 2023, which allows for flexible working hours in factory settings has apparently met with resistance from political groups including allies of the DMK.

The main point of contention for the opposition is the Act's proposal to increase the mandatory working hours from 8 hours to 12 hours with apprehensions about the well-being, safety and work-life balance of employees.
