Sources: 5. Developments: 2. PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has issued several demands to the Tamil Nadu government regarding employment and labor practices. Initially, Ramadoss called for increased funding for the state’s rural employment guarantee scheme, arguing that the current allocation is insufficient to meet the goal of providing 150 days of work annually. He noted that the state must cover the financial burden for the additional days beyond the central government’s mandate. Subsequently, Ramadoss advocated for an end to outsourced recruitment within government departments and public sector undertakings. He argued that outsourcing undermines job security, facilitates worker exploitation, and bypasses reservation policies for historically oppressed communities. He specifically criticized the use of the Overseas Manpower Corporation Limited as an agency, citing significant salary disparities between regular employees and outsourced staff. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-29: Anbumani Ramadoss calls for end to outsourced recruitment in Tamil Nadu PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss has urged the Tamil Nadu government to end outsourced recruitment to protect job security and ensure reservation policies are upheld. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/anbumani-ramadoss-calls-for-end-to-outsourced-recruitment-in-tamil-nadu ### 2026-10-21: PMK leader calls for more rural employment funds in Tamil Nadu PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has criticized the Tamil Nadu government's Rs 100 crore allocation for rural employment, calling it insufficient to meet the goal of 150 guaranteed work days per year. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/pmk-leader-calls-for-more-rural-employment-funds-in-tamil-nadu --- Cite as: PMK demands for labor reforms in Tamil Nadu.
