11. (1) The Uttar Pradesh Employment of Substitute Workmen Ordinance, 1978 is hereby repealed. (2) Notwithstanding such repeal, anything done or any action taken under the said Ordinance shall be deemed to have been done or taken under this Act as if this Act were in force at all material times. Savings for other laws. Repeal. STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS In several cotton, jute, wollen textiles, synthetic fibres and yarn factories and relative industrial establishments, substitute workers in the reserve pool who are unable to get work for a number of days have been getting a raw deal. This results in labour unrest and avoidable industrial disputes. It is, therefore proposed to provide that if a reserve pool workman presented himself for work and the employer failed to provide work to him the latter shall pay to the former a specified sum as ''disappointment allowances'' for each such day. It is also considered advisable to make the contravention of provisions of the proposed legislation a penal offence punishable with imprisonment for a term extending upto three years or with fine or both. The Uttar Pradesh Employment of Substitute Workmen Bill, 1978 is accordingly being introduced.
