BENGALURU: Inside days of the jobs-for-locals controversy, Karnataka is within the midst of one other wrangle over labour. Karnataka State IT/ITeS Workers Union (Kitu) mentioned Saturday the Karnataka govt plans to extend the working hours in IT and ITES (IT-enabled companies) sector to 14 hours a day, from the utmost 10 hours (together with additional time) that is allowed now.Sources within the state govt acknowledged there’s a transfer to lift the per-day restrict to 12-14 hours.
However what Kitu left unsaid in its press assertion was whether or not the higher restrict of 48 hours for the week can be being reconsidered. Govt sources declined to supply particulars of the Invoice being proposed.
Karnataka labour minister Santosh Lad is claimed to have taken objection to the proposed amendments.
