working of industrial establishments to generate more jobs, as the
government is committed to increase employment opportunities.
Shri Tomar said that this meeting was
convened to build a consensus on finalising the content of the Workers’
participation in Management Bill, 1990. He said, “There had been
attempts in the past to formulate schemes for workers’ participation in
varying forms but the schemes were mainly to be implemented on a
voluntary basis.” He further added that adopting the participation of
workers at apex level should remain voluntary for industry and not
statutory.

the management of leading CPSUs and apex Employer’s Organisations like
CII, FICCI, CIE, ASSOCHAM and Trade Unions for arriving at a consensus
on the issue of workers participation in management at the board/ apex
level.

Ministry of Labour and Employment, Smt. Gauri Kumar, senior officials of
various central ministries, representatives of the CPSUs and central
trade unions.
