Bad news for techies: Karnataka govt plans to increase working hours to 12 hours per day; IT unions oppose move

Karnataka working hours: The Karnataka government's proposal to extend daily working hours to 12 in sectors like IT faces strong opposition from trade unions, who fear it will harm work-life balance and job security. This move follows Andhra Pradesh's decision to increase working hours to 10, aiming to attract investors by amending labor laws, a decision criticized as anti-worker by CPI.
