The terms of reference of the Second National Commission on Labour were: (i) to suggest rationalisation of existing laws relating to labour in the organised sector; and (ii) to suggest an Umbrella Legislation for ensuring a minimum level of protection to the workers in the unorganised sector. The resolution of appointment also asked the commission to take note of the developments that have followed liberalisation and globalisation, the demands that they make, and the effects they have on working class, industry, government and all sections of the society; and to make recommendations on the laws and systems that are required to offer protection and welfare to the working population in the country, and to increase the economic efficiency and competitiveness of the Industry.
