Any body and everybody who works to earn a living is of concern and importance and is given reflection in the subject matter of Labour File. Produced from a non-partisan platform, Labour File is a storehouse of stories of hope, aspirations, despair, struggles and alternatives of workers and their organisations. It brings to you information with the perspective that has a firm grounding in the local situation, while being open to the global, political and economic processes and the probable impact it may have on the workers in the country. Besides there is also regular information on policies of the government, judicial developments and verdicts, analysis of national and international trends and events.

Greater emphasis is however on the unorganised and informal workers, who constitute more than ninety percent of the Indian workforce and are the least protected, doing some of the most dangerous and vulnerable jobs.

Labour File is a companion and guide to the labour leaders and a veritable store house to the researchers, decision makers and the media.
