Alternative Law Forum, a lawyers’ collective given to research and intervention on social issues, has come out with a series of recommendations for the government and factory managements to address workers’ issues.

The forum has pointed out that Karnataka was currently experiencing industrial turmoil due to “increasing suppression of workers’ rights’’ and ‘abdication’ of the State’s responsibility in enforcing the law on “errant companies’’.
