Gone through all the 5 notes posted by the learneds above .
I think ,the existing basket of labour laws
passed 70–100 years back ,require to be rechecked and rennovated in view of the current needs of the nation .
I do not think ,the govts of Up–MP have discussed the matter properly and amicably along with the trade unions ,legal experts and /or compiled with the regulations issued from time to time by the ILO etc.
I doubt the steps of both the states ,it might be proved to be an oppertunistic under the situation ….who cares for the crores of jobless on the roads in the country ?

The change in laws is to help existing businesses to fire existing employees without consequences, court cases. Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh already know that due to economic slowdown no company in the world has money to invest as the market is shrinking daily. The American and European MNC’s exiting China will return to home countries instead of investing money in a country with unskilled workers and impossible land acquisition laws.
Personally I have never been a fan of labour laws. Which law has stood in the way of 114 million jobs being lost since the lockdown was decreed. Consider Amazon, which has been hiring people and the almost Dickensian way it treats its employees. In the post Covid 19 world, India will have to get real about the economy and some of the tough decisions that will be required to breathe life into it. Of course, as far as Yogiji’s Uttar Pradesh is concerned, it will require more than a tweaking of labour laws to attract a flood of new investment.
It’s not about up..
Its about noida..
Which doesn’t need any tweaking… Already companies r lining up to invest there
