Supreme Court narrows 'industry' definition, weakening worker protections
The Supreme Court has narrowed the expansive 1978 definition of "industry," a decision that could significantly weaken legal protections for workers. The verdict comes at a critical time as privatisation initiatives and new labour codes are reshaping the employment landscape, making job security increasingly precarious.
Worker advocates warn the ruling may limit the scope of existing labour laws and reduce coverage for employees seeking recourse through industrial tribunals and dispute resolution mechanisms.
