There are instances where workers have been given air tickets to return to work! These may be anecdotal instances but they do echo the need to treat workers with dignity though under duress. One only hopes that at least some such benefits last long enough to emerge as new practices. This should take us to Gandhijis intervention in Ahmedabad textile strike to negotiate in the issue of plague allowance. In my opinion there are several reasons that necessitate thinking of a Covid allowance and determining some standards to calculate it and these are

1. The virus is very likely to stay longer than was initially feared. That makes it systemic and not temporary and hence the need to institutionalise the support through designing a Covid allowance.

2. The lockdown inspired by the pandemic has led to what is being called as the New Normal of working from home. This mode saves the variable costs of his establishment such as power charges use of computers maintaining canteen facility and overall housekeeping etc. for the employer while the employees bear a higher cost in real and money Decent Wages and Covid Allowance terms. This is because i. Employees might now work for longer hours being available 24x7 ii. They have to face the stress of managing the workspace and home-space together and iii. They might have to make an additional investment to upgrade infrastructure. It is important to compensate the employees for this.

 3. Employees who travel to their workplaces during these times run a high risk of contracting the infection themselves if they resort to public transport. Opting for safer and more personalised travel to workplace on the other hand is sure to hike their travel expenses.

4. It is now becoming clear that those recovered from Covid are indeed far from danger as there are cases showing serious damages affecting vital organs of the patients even after recovery. The expenditure on testing and medicines is likely to rise unpredictably for those who contacted the infection even once.

 5. Lastly of course the ability to pay of the employer would have to be taken into account because harmony in employer-employee relationship is crucial to Gandhian view of industrial relations. pratiyogita darpan english telegram
