Gig Workers and EPF Limits on Union Meeting Agenda
The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, a trade union, will meet on November 27 and 28 to discuss pending demands from employees and gig workers. Topics include higher provident fund and insurance benefit ceilings, improved wages and other allowances, so the talks matter for workers' pay and savings.
Context
Context: EPF is the Employees' Provident Fund, a retirement savings scheme, and its wage ceiling sets the salary limit for mandatory contributions. Gig workers, such as app-based delivery and cab drivers, usually lack this kind of standard job protection.
