The Gujarat government has raised concerns over the implementation of a proposed law that mandates 85% local hiring in industries. State Labor and Employment Minister Dilip Thakor stated that such a law would violate the Constitution of India as it could restrict the free movement of labor across states. This comes as a response to the Gujarat Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Bill, which aims to prioritize local residents for jobs in industries. The government argues that while it supports providing job opportunities for local residents, any law that enforces such a high percentage of local hiring could be deemed unconstitutional. The bill is currently under consideration, with discussions ongoing regarding its feasibility and potential impact on industry operations. The state government is exploring alternative solutions to promote employment for local residents without infringing upon constitutional rights. This development highlights the ongoing debate around balancing the interests of local job seekers with the need for a free and open labor market. Stay updated for further developments on this issue.
