We, the concerned citizens of India, petition the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Airport Authority to enforce Section 44, Chapter 5 of the Indian Shops & Establishment Act and the Indian Factories Act, 1948, regarding the provision of suitable seating arrangements for workers in standing positions.

It has come to our attention that many airport lounges across the country fail to provide adequate seating for the hardworking employees stationed at reception desks. Section 44 mandates the provision and maintenance of suitable seating for workers who are obligated to work while standing, allowing them to take necessary rest during their shifts.

The absence of seating facilities for these employees not only violates the established labor laws but also compromises their health, well-being, and efficiency at work. It is essential to recognize and uphold the rights of these workers, ensuring their working conditions comply with the law.

We urge the concerned authorities to:

1. Conduct immediate inspections of airport lounges to ensure compliance with Section 44, Chapter 5 of labor laws.
2. Enforce the provision of suitable seating arrangements for employees working in standing positions at all airport lounges across India.
3. Take appropriate actions against non-compliant lounges to rectify this issue promptly and prioritize the welfare of workers.

Let's stand together to uphold the rights of these hardworking employees and ensure that the law safeguarding their well-being is respected and implemented across all airport lounges in India.

Your support in signing and sharing this petition will contribute to advocating for the fair treatment and proper working conditions of these employees. Together, let's bring about positive change and ensure the enforcement of labor laws in our airports.
