What is the Right to Disconnect?

Image
The Right to Disconnect Bill, is trying to give employees the right to not respond to employers’ calls, texts or emails after office hours. The idea is to help reduce work-related stress and strive for a better work-life balance. After being in the workplace for eight hours or more, it might be very stressful for a person to respond to office-related calls after work. But not everyone has the liberty to ignore a boss’ call because we are home and need to focus on family, right? This Bill will give you the right to ignore your boss (after work!). To help employees enjoy a better work-life balance and reduce stress, NCP MP Supriya Sule had recently introduced the Right to Disconnect Bill 2018, in the Lok Sabha. This Bill if passed in Lok Sabha, gives employees the right to not respond to calls or any kind of communications from the employers after office hours. The Bill which was introduced on December 28, requires the setting up of an Employee Welfare Authority, which will pu

Deep State within India...

The Deep State exists and we must know it. "Deep State" for sure will not advertise in newspapers or on tv channels. You have to discern it. Let me explain.  I talked of Judges+  Bureacrats+  Media owners+  Europe/ US/ Pak/ China being part of the deep state. Let me start with the judges. What do you think was the purpose of SC judges press conf ( org by a journalist) and then CJI  impeachment noises by left and Cong? Why? To desist them from taking up Babri Masjid land case. Sibbal as much had earlier requested the bench to postpone it until next yr elections. And then Raffael judgment pronounced only after the state assy elections were too much of a coincidence. Was it a coincidence that judgment on Sajjan Kumar delivered only after the election results. Or was it? Why w

Corruption is an issue which is constantly holding our country's development back. Transperency International which is a organization recognised internationally ranks coutries based on corruption in the country. In the year 2016, India was ranked 79th out of 168 countries. Although from 2014, the courntry has improved in ranking index from 36 - 40, still we need to go a long way and make it towards 90-100. Current index of 40 terms India as mostly corrupt country. Constantly over a period of time we have witnessed cases of corruption by our politicians amounting to crores of rupees which should have been put into development of coutry and upliftment of poor and underpriviledged. Instead most of the money went towards the development of politicians, their family and political parties. Some got converted to foreign currencies and are lying with foreign banks. Swiss banks being the ideal choices for most of the politicians. Since the list is so big, I'm breaking it i
