The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 60
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Legislative precariousness regarding the freedoms of association and of peaceful assembly is widespread globally, as is the lack of policy harmony surrounding it. States frequently pass laws that are not fully protective of assembly and association rights, explicitly restrict rights and exclude certain groups or limit certain components of rights. For example, in India, where tens of millions of workers are in the informal economy, the Government is working to increase the flexibility of labour laws to make it easier for employers to fire workers.
