CONCLUSION

In the labour system a worker is subjected to various problems. No company carries any of the benefits that the government claims to give to workers. Workers are most affected by this .The study concludes that an organization helps workers in many ways. But it does not go well with leather. The company can also provide facilities for only a few workers. But shutting down does not cause workers either.
