For students preparing for government exams, understanding these codes is crucial because they reshape the very nature of employment law in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Broad-Based_Worker_Protection\"><\/span>Broad-Based Worker Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new labour codes extend protection to <strong>a much wider set of workers<\/strong> \u2014 including gig workers, contract workers, and women working night shifts.
