The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has constituted a five-member sub-committee on construction workers under the tripartite Central Board of Trustees to suggest a mechanism for increasing social security coverage for workers in the sector. The sub-committee will be chaired by the Central Provident Commissioner, said an EPFO circular dated October 15, and will include one Government representative to be nominated by the Labour Secretary and an additional Central PF commissioner. The employers will be represented by SS Patil and Ravi Wig, while the employees will be represented by Ramen Pandey of Congress-led INTUC and MJ Rao of the BJP-led Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh. The tenure of the sub-committee shall be “at the pleasure of the Chairman,” according to the circular.
