Photo: PTINew Delhi: Tens of thousands of workers associated with the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), India’s largest labour union, staged a protest in the national capital on Friday, demanding better wages for workers and opposing reform initiatives of the central government. Those unions demanded the creation of more jobs and protection of workers’ rights. “The central government should stop curtailing the workers’ rights in the name of labour law reforms and other policy reforms,” he added. Over the last two years, the BMS has stayed away from strikes or other protests called by other central labour unions.
