New Delhi, Jan 29 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to entertain a petition seeking a declaration that domestic workers have a fundamental right to be paid minimum wages. Once minimum wages are fixed, people will refuse to hire,” the CJI remarked, adding that overactive trade unions could leave domestic workers without employment. Justice Bagchi noted that it would be incorrect to say that domestic workers are left without any protection at all. The petition had sought a declaration that non-payment of minimum wages to domestic workers violates Articles 21 and 23 of the Constitution. It also challenged the exclusion of domestic workers from the Minimum Wages Act and the Code on Wages, 2019.
