Unorganized workers from different sectors in Rajasthan, who formed their first ever union two years ago, have sought recognition of their labour rights for getting minimum wages, social security, monthly ration through public distribution system and implementation of law with the guarantee for 100 days of work in a year to each household. The Rajasthan Asangathit Mazdoor Union (RAMU) organized its biennial general body meeting at Raipur village in Pali district over the weekend to deliberate on the issues confronting the labourers and devise strategies to enhance their participation in the movements for asserting their rights. The union adopted a motto: Izzat Ho Har Kaam Ki, Mazdoori Ho Shaan Ki (Let there be dignity of labour and decent wages for work). Formed at Ajmer district’s Jawaja village in 2017, the RAMU was registered by the State government under the Trade Union Act, 1926, in June 2018. The union has established two fronts for rural workers, comprising the labourers of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, and the street vendors.Addressing the labourers who had arrived from Bhilwara, Rajsamand, Ajmer, Pali and other districts, social activist and Magsaysay Award winner Aruna Roy said the labourers and common people should come together to strengthen the rights which they had gained after prolonged struggles. There should be no scope for denial of minimum wages and minimum days of employment to workers, she said. Nikhil Dey of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan said the NREGA, adopted after a longrunning campaign in Rajasthan, was not just a legislation, but had the potential to bring about “revolutionary changes” if implemented in its true spirit. No compromise could be made on getting minimum wages for work, he added.Hundreds of labourers took out a march from Mela Chowk in Raipur to the Panchayat Samiti office and handed over a memorandum to the Development Officer. RAMU members said more fronts would be established shortly to give representation to women domestic workers,porters and daily wage earners.
