If you look not only at the retrenchment, closures, lay off, lock out, there is also one expression called suspension of work. They are bypassing the law. Millions of our workforce is under suspension of work. In such a situation, the Government's insensitivity is only huring us. May I know from the hon. Minister whether the Government is thinking in terms of creation of jobs? The Government should extend the National Employment Guarantee Scheme to other areas also without any further delay because in the unorganized sector, they need job. The contractual workers and all those who are working in the ancillary and small industry have been victims as a reuslt of big units being closed down. Regarding the safety net, you have spoken about Rajiv Gandhi Safety Net, Rashtriya Bheema Yojana, employment allowance and others. The Minister has suggested concrete cases. The workers, whose industries or units are closed, should be give free education. The fee should be waived; the loan should be waived and they should be given minimum nutrition because it is not only it is the case of students having mid-day meals but they should also be given ration cards and free ration and one year employment allowance as has been proposed, but which is not being given. My experience is there is an industry called Dunlop Limited, who has resorted to suspension of work no reason. They have nothing to do with the present crisis and they are not paying their dues. Similarly, may I ask the Labour Minister, the management, the employers who are depriving the workers of their dues in respect of committed dues, statutory dues they should be called and told that if they do not fulfil their commitment as per the statement made by the hon. Labour Minister.
