The Shiv Sena expressed reservations Thursday about the Goa government's proposal to allow women to work in night shift, and demanded several safeguards. The BJP-led state cabinet Wednesday approved a proposal to amend the Factories Act to allow women to work in night shift. The amendment will be moved during the next session of the state Assembly. Shiv Sena's Goa Spokesperson Rakhi Prabhudesai Naik said in a statement here that her party was apprehensive about the decision, as it will allow managements to force women employees to work at night. "Until now, the law has given protection to women from working night shifts. Now the government has given all powers to managements to force women to work in night shift on the pretext of meeting deadlines," she said. The clause making it compulsory to obtain prior permission from the Chief Inspector of Factories and Boilers to put women employees on night shift would be abused, Naik said.
