The All India Insurance Employees’ Association (AIIEA) is strongly condemning the Indian government’s enforcement of four Labour Codes, labeling them “undemocratic, anti-worker, and pro-employer.” They argue these codes erode worker protections and were enacted despite widespread protests from trade unions and federations. The AIIEA is calling on insurance employees to join nationwide protests led by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on November 26th to demand the codes be scrapped and the draft Shram Shakti Niti 2025 be withdrawn. They criticize the government for pushing forward with the codes despite repeated requests for dialogue and its failure to convene the Indian Labour Conference.

Nationwide Protests Loom as Insurance Employees Condemn New Labour Codes

VISAKHAPATNAM, November 25, 2025 – The All India Insurance Employees’ Association (AIIEA) has launched a scathing critique of the Central government’s decision to enforce the controversial Labour Codes, triggering concerns of widespread worker unrest.

In a statement released on Monday, AIIEA General Secretary Srikanta Mishra denounced the codes as “undemocratic, anti-workers and pro-employer,” asserting they represent a “devastating attack” on the rights and dignity of Indian laborers. The AIIEA joins a growing chorus of opposition from trade unions and independent federations who argue the codes were implemented without adequate consultation and will erode decades of hard-won worker protections.

The four Labour Codes – Code on Wages (2019), Industrial Relations Code (2020), Code on Social Security (2020) and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSHWC) Code (2020) – were officially notified by the government on November 21st, despite ongoing protests.

In response, the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions has called for a nationwide day of action on November 26th, aligning with the ongoing farmers’ movement led by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM). Protesters are demanding the immediate scrapping of the Labour Codes and the withdrawal of the draft Shram Shakti Niti 2025.

The AIIEA is urging its members to participate in the protests by holding gate meetings and demonstrations during lunch breaks on November 26th. The association contends the government, emboldened by recent electoral successes, has disregarded repeated calls for dialogue, including the long-overdue convening of the Indian Labour Conference, which hasn’t been held since 2015. The situation sets the stage for potential disruptions across multiple sectors as unions and workers prepare to demonstrate their opposition to the new labour legislation.
