Question

The fight for daily wages, safety and security were agendas of which popular movement?

• A. Jan Lokpal Bill
• B. Champaran Movement
• C. Chipko Movement
• D. Labour Movement

Answer 1

The correct option is D Labour Movement

In the 1960s and 1970s the labour movement organised several protests. The agendas of the labour movement have transformed from pre-independence to post-independence phase. The labourers have to fight for wages, safety, health, and financial stability. Globalisation has affected the labour movement to a great extent. All workers do not have access to protective equipment at work. They face health hazards and are forced to work long hours. Their health is at risk due to harmful chemicals, heat, noise, and dust at their workplace.
