Welfare measures – Statutory or non-statutory
Though statutory welfare ensures a bare minimum facilities
and reasonably good working conditions, employers are free
to provide or not to provide non-statutory welfare.
1. Welfare measures must eliminate risk and insecurity

4. Employers provide amenities to discharge their social responsibility
raise the employees’ morale, use the work force more effectively
and reduce turnover and absenteeism
5. Benefits such as bonuses etc., are bound by length of service, thus
ensuring that an employee will remain for a certain minimum
period at least
6. Welfare benefits not only raise employee morale but also make it
easier for employers to attract and hire competent personnel
7. Welfare helps build a positive image of the organization and
facilities dealings with the union
9. Labor administration
1. Training and research programme – to train officers of the labor
department in connection with labor laws implemented in
state

safety and health – potential hazards in workplace caused by
chemical factories, pesticides and etc., pose heath issue to
employees
10. Contd…4. Improvement of communications, mobility of factory inspector - facilitates a
prompt inquiry into the mishap and its causes but also enables the concerned
authorities to bring into action the various control measures in case of disasters

mainly from weaker section community.
Those societies organize scattered and un organized labor together and provide
them gainful employment in various work obtained from government and other
agencies
11. Employment
Employment services:

15. Labor Welfare measures – Non-
statutory
Voluntary welfare includes all those activities which employers
undertake for their employees on voluntary basis. It is philanthropic
approach on the part of the employer to provide various welfare
facilities to the workers over and above the statutory measures
(eg) housing, education, recreation, transportation and
cooperatives
Bhilani steel plant non-statutory welfare programmes in the BSP
initially emerged because of its geographical location
Housing was the main problem. Though BSP undertook extensive
construction programmes, it also provided loans to its employees to
construct their own houses, medical and educational facilities
followed
16. Non-statutory welfare: A model
A general fallacy is that job satisfaction and productivity are synonymous
or that high job satisfaction will lead to high productivity
Evidence in fact points to the contrary. Productivity on the other hand has
been found to be determined largely by the quality of machines, raw
materials, R&D, Industrial relations, institutional setup and etc., largely
1 .Personal adjustment of workers
2. Nature of work
3. Relationship with other workers
4. Nature of supervision
5. Company’s setup
6. Social status of his job
18. Non-statutory welfare measures
1. Canteen facility
2. Holidays and leave entitlement
3. Employment state insurance scheme
4. Medical re-imbursement
5. Housing facilities
6. Conveyance
7. Tour facilities
8. Residential quarters
9. Recreation facilities
10. Library facilities
11. Telephone Charges
12. Magazine and newspaper
19. Work environment
Two important factors have potential affect the performance
of a job:
1. Provisions of appropriate working condition
2. Physical environment
Various feature of physical environment have been
manipulated in both field and lab experiences to
understand their effect on output
Such physical features as illumination, noise, vibration, color
and music have been experienced with extensively
20. Contd…
Noise is generally considered as a destructor. When the
noise level is high, an employee has to concentrate more
or exert greater efforts to perform
Fatigue and boredom are often becomes apparent in
increased spoilage and decreased output in addition to a
greater possibility of accidents and high absenteeism
The physiological component of fatigue is measured by a
device called “Ergo graph”
21. Statutory welfare measures
After independence the government of India passed several acts
(eg) the factories act, the employees state insurance act, the
minimum wages act, the payment of wages act, and industrial
disputes act to ensure fair deal employees in various aspects of their
jobs
The factories act 1948:
The factories act 1948, was conceived in 1881 when legislation was
enacted to provide health and safety measures and children
In 1911, the hours of work were regulated and incorporated in the act
In 1934, the royal commission of labor, the act was amended
22. Contd…
Finally, a comprehensive legislation to regulate working
conditions replaced the act in 1948
The 1948 amendment of act lays down basic minimum
requirement for the safety, health and welfare of factory

ILO (International labor organization) defines “it can be
taken to mean the protection which society provides for its
members, through a series of public measures, against the
economic and social distress that otherwise would be caused
by the stoppage or substantial reduction of earnings resulting
from sickness, maternity, employment injury,
unemployment, invalidity, old age and death; the provision of
medical care; and the provisions of subsidies for families with
children”

security benefit:
1, Medical care
2, Sickness benefit
3, Unemployment benefit
4, Old age benefit
5, Employment injury benefit
6, Family benefit
7, Maternity benefit
8, Invalidity benefit
37. ILO and social security
The International labor organization was founded in 1919 for the primary
purpose of promoting social justice and improving the living and working
conditions of workers throughout the world
In order to implement the measures ILO took certain steps:
1, It tried to create international standards by way of recommendations
regarding the definitions of social security
2, It collected and spread the information about social security schemes in
various countries
3, It provided technical assistance and guidance so that social security
schemes may be properly formulated by means of co-operation with other
social organizations
38. Various legislative measures have been adopted by the Government of
India by ways of social security schemes for industrial workers
1, Workmen’s compensation acts 1923

tripartite advisory committee has been constituted by the
government both at the central and state level under each
labor welfare fund scheme
At the central level, the scheme is looked after by the union
ministry of labor
The state advisory/committee is headed by the concerned
state labor minister
40. Level of assistance
The central government has taken several steps to
streamline the various welfare activities with a view to
increase their “welfare content” and extend their
coverage
One of the recommendations of the committee was that
the various welfare schemes undertaken against different
welfare funds needed to be adequately financed by the
government

46. Workers’ education and training
schemes
In the words of William flayed, “Workers’ education” is an attempt
on the part of organized labor to educate its own member under an
educational system in which the workers prescribe the courses of
instruction, select the teachers and in a considerable measure
furnish the finance
Florence Peterson observed: “ The term workers’ education as
commonly used, is not a generic term, but has specific connotation.
It is a special kind of adult education designed to give workers a
better understanding of their status problem, rights and
responsibilities as workers, as union members, as consumers and as
citizens
47. On the basis of analysis of various conflicting concepts of workers’
education, some of its notable features that have been identifies are as
under:
1. The scope of workers’ education is much wider than that of TU
education. But is narrower than that of adult education
2. It aims to create trade union consciousness among the workers, besides
making them good citizens and training them to understand their
status, rights and responsibilities
3. In worker’s education, the workers themselves prescribe the curriculum
and select the teacher who have full sympathy with the working class
4. The institution providing workers’ education are owned, financed and
managed by the workers
48. 5. It is aimed at increasing the bargaining power of TU and
making the working class more sensible and co-operative
6. It differs from vocational and professional education for its
main is to train a worker for his group advancement and
increasing individual creativity, whereas vocational and
professional education aims at individual development
7. The approach in workers’ education is psychological and
philosophical
8. It includes general education, vocational education, technical
education, and social education and training in trade unionism
49. Objectives of workers’ education
The basic objective of workers’ education is to make the worker an efficient
individual, disciplined TU member and an intelligent corporate citizen
1. To foster workers’ loyalty towards the union and imparting the necessary
training to them for intelligent and efficient participation in union activities.
Besides teaching them TU dynamics, history, etc,.
2. To develop the worker for good and respectable civic life
3. To promote among workers a greater and understanding of the problem of the
country’s economic environment and their privileges rights and obligations as
union members and as citizens
4. To develop TU leadership from among the rank and file thereby keeping the
union away from the clutches of politicians, leading to democratization of TU
administrations
50. 5. To familiarize the workers with the capitalist culture and this
philosophy is the soul of modern industrial system
6. To inculcate among workers a better understanding of their
duties and responsibilities, and intricacies of work, so that
they can effectively carry out their jobs
7. To enable the worker to realize the purpose of human life and
raise him to the height of achievement
8. To equip organized labor to take its place in a democratic
society so that it plays a dominant role in the process of
economic development and fulfills effectively its social and
economic functions and responsibilities
51. In the view of National commission on labor, workers’ education should
make a worker:
A, A responsibly committed and disciplined operative
B, To understand the basic economic and technical aspects of the industry
and the plant where he is employed so that he can take and intelligent
interest in its affairs
C, Aware of his rights and obligations
D, To understand the organization and functioning of the union as well as
develop qualities of leadership, loyalty and devotion to trade unionism, so
that he may intelligently participate in the affairs of his union
E, To lead a clean and healthy life based on a firm ethical foundation and
F, To make the worker responsible and alert citizen
52. Techniques of workers’ education
The techniques employed in imparting workers’ education are
1. Guest lectures, delivered in simple, direct and unambiguous language
2. Discussions on the topics and issues involved
3. Organization of study groups
4. Correspondence course
Besides, these modern teaching methods are also developed and for this purpose, a number
of educational aids can be used are:
Video tapes, film strips, recordings, pictorial charts, flash cards, posters, graphs, maps and
diagrams, wall newspaper, etc.,
The demonstration talks, tests, seminars, debates, role-playing, symposia, case studies and
two way communication methods are also encouraged
The educational visits and study tours of trainees to union offices, factories and
multipurpose projects are important aspects of workers’ education
53. Workers’ education in India
In India, the level of general education is low and TU suffers
from a number of maladies, the scope for workers’ education
is very great
The royal commission on labor remarked thus: “In India,
nearly the whole mass of industrial labor is illiterate, a state of
affairs which is unknown in any other country of industrial
importance. It is almost impossible to overestimate the
consequence of this disability, which are obvious in wages, in
health, in productivity, in organization and in several other
directions.
Modern machine industry depends in a peculiar degree on
education, and the attempt to build it up with an illiterate
body of workers must be difficult and perilous, we would
emphasize the fact that precisely because of this, the
education of industrial labor should receive special attention
54. Scheme for worker’ education
The workers’ education scheme was launched in 1958 by the
central board of workers’ education (CBWE)
The board is a tripartite body registered under the societies
registration act 1860 which consists of a chairman(nominated
by government), representatives of states and central
government., representative of central TUs and the employers
organizations, representatives of UGC Indian adult education
association and one independent Trade unionist nominated
by the ministry of labor and employment.
55. The Board of CBWE aims at:
1, Inculcating among all section of workers a sense of patriotism
national integrity, secularism and pride in being an Indian;
2, Equipping them for their intelligent participation in social and
economic development
3, Developing among them the “Nation first” approach
4, Instilling in them greater understanding of the problem of their
social and economic environment, their rights and obligations as
citizens, as workers in industry and responsibility towards family
members
The board also aims at developing among workers a sense of
responsibility so that they can shoulder responsibility of TU
leadership
56. Three levels of workers’ education
The workers’ education programme operates at three levels:
1. The national level: It is the top most level worker’s education. At this
level, education officers are trained. The participants for the
programme are selected by CBWE and are trained at a central place by
the board officials
2. The regional level: The regional level programmes are aimed at
imparting necessary training to selected workers. The workers so
educated are known as workers’ teacher
3. The unit/village level: this is the final stage of the programme. The
workers’ teacher on completion of their return to their work place and
conducts programme for rank and file of workers at their respective
units
57. Some special category programmes are:
1. Programme for women workers
2. Programme for unorganized workers
3. Programme for rural workers
4. Functional adult literacy programme
5. Training for workers of weaker sections
6. Leadership development courses
58. Workers’ training concept
In India, there is an acute shortage of skilled and trained workers for
a number of industrial occupations, and a majority of workers suffer
from low efficiency , which necessarily means that the rate of skill
formulation has been low
On the basis of the recommendations of the committee, the
government constituted in 1957 the National council for training in
vocational trades (NCTVT), consisting of representatives of the
central government and state government and labor & sought advice
on all aspects of vocational training and correlating training
facilities with the request of industry
59. Training schemes of DGET
To build up the career of young persons and to supply a constant
stream of trained personnel to industries, the director-general of
Employment and training (DGET) has designed a number of
training programmes
1. Craft men’s training programme
2. Craft instructor’s training programme
3. Advanced vocational training
4. Foreman’s training
5. Apprenticeship training scheme
6. Part time training for industrial workers
7. Vocational training programme for women
60. 1. Craft men’s training - The DGET has set up industrial training institutes and
centre (ITI’s/ITC’s) to provide training to those young men and women who
are in age group of 14-25 yrs
2. Craft instructor’s training – Six training institutes, each located at Bombay,
Calcutta, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Ludhiana and central training institute at
madras train craft instructors required by it is and apprentice training
establishment
3. Advanced vocational training – The scheme was started in October 1977 to
provide training to rightly skilled workers and technicians in a variety of
advanced and sophisticated skills and not available under the vocational
training programme
61.
62. Supervisor’s/Foremen’s training
The supervisors/ foreman are the frontline managers, hence, they are of
paramount importance due to their unique position in the organizational
hierarchy
In India, for the training of foremen, two institutes are functioning, one at
Bangalore (1971) and another at Jamshedpur (1986)
Here training is provided to existing and potential foremen in technical
and managerial skills, besides routine matters pertaining to man power
management
Long term courses of two years duration are:
1. Diploma in foremanship for NAC/NTC candidates
2. Post – Diploma in foremanship for fresh diploma holders
3. Post diploma in foremanship (maintenance, engineering)
63. Apprenticeship training scheme – Under the apprentices act
1961, it is obligatory on the part of the employer to engage
apprentice training consists of basic training in the specified
filed followed by shop floor training
The scheme is implemented by DGET with the assistance of six
regional directorates of apprenticeship training (RDAT’s)
located at Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Hyderabad, and
Faridabad
Part time training for industrial workers – The scheme for
imparting part time training was introduced in 1958.With a
view to improve knowledge and skill of workers who did not
have the benefit of systematic training in institutes
Vocational training programme for women – A special project
for the development of women workers was undertaken by the
govt. in 1977 with the assistance the Swedish international
development authority (SIDA) and implemented through ILO
64. Evaluation of training schemes
The study group of NCL observed that:
a. Substantial training capacities have remained unutilized
b. No new trade have been added
c. The training programmes do not take into account local and regional needs
d. There has not been adequate expansion in some trades in which there has been
a persistent shortage
e. The selection of trainees is made by inexperienced and non technical persons
and considerations other than the suitability of the candidates become
important
f. The quality of training is poor, which may due to lack of counseling
arrangements
g. The training provided does not conform to the needs of industries and rapid
expansion of the training programme
