Discussion
Consider the following statements :
1. Matters concerning Trade Unions, industrial and labour disputes fall within the purview of Concurrent list.
2. The subject of welfare of labour including conditions of work, provident fund, workmen's compensation and maternity benefits are included in the State list.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?
Answer: A
Only statement 1 is correct, so the answer is Only 1.
Entry 22 of the Concurrent List (List III of the Seventh Schedule) covers trade unions and industrial and labour disputes, so statement 1 is right.
Statement 2 is wrong because welfare of labour, including conditions of work, provident funds, employers' liability, workmen's compensation, invalidity and old age pensions and maternity benefits, is Entry 24 of the Concurrent List, not a State List subject. Both Parliament and the State legislatures can therefore make laws on it, which is why labour codes are central laws that States also legislate around.
