Abstract

From perspectives of the Indian laws of labor, the term labor to the present scenario needs redefinition. The labor classification in various categories follows: Black Collar- mine / oil industry; Blue Collar-manual labor; Gold Collar-knowledge contributor / earning for conspicuous luxury; Gray Collar-do both white and blue collar jobs; Green Collar-environmental sectors; Pink Collar-sectors originally meant for women; Scarlet Collar-pornography; White Collars-salaried professionals and Open Collar-works from home, BiseraiP. (2011). Ever since, the realization started for the welfare, safety and security of labors, labor laws had undergone a series of amendments. However, the coverage of the laws for total labor kind is ambiguous. Does it cover all those who exert either muscle or mind? Taxmann. A. (2015). The labors involved in the emerging sectors are really considered as labors ? Do they really have the concerns of legal protection? This paper attempts to find answers to these questions with its pivotal focus on Indian labor laws.
