The Bill states that companies with more than 10 employees would periodically debate specific terms with their workers, publish their own charter, and create an Employee Welfare Committee consisting of representatives of the company’s workforce.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (4)-(8)
C) (1)-(5) D) (3)-(7)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) (1)-(5)

Explanation:

'Debate' results in only one of the parties involved in the argument to win. But, when employees and employers discuss the terms of working, the end results must satisfy both and not just one of them. This is called 'negotiation', not a debate. Also, employees are the same as that of workers. So, no change is required here. A committee is formed by 'representatives' from various factions. 'Capital' doesn’t require representation.
