Wage Agreement has been signed in the Coal sector for the five-year period from 01-01-2011 to 30-06-2016. The earlier agreement was also for five-year from 2001 to 2006. The workers will get a minimum of 25% fitment.
It is also agreed that contract labour will be granted al rights provided in the rules and government acts and the management as the Principal Employer will ensure that these are implemented by the contractors.
My congratulations to the workers and unions in the Coal industry. We have to try to get the five-year negotiation and settlement in BSNL also.

dear sir
respectfully i have to say that although we have agreed to wage revision for 10 years, we had agreed for the revision of the TA/DA rates and perks wef January, 2012. We should at least demand for the same as now even march, 2012 has gone.

BSNLEU has not agreed for 10 years. Periodicity is linked to Executives Wage Revision in BSNL.
Bhaskar
i don’t think that it makes much difference. but what about other part of the comment. isn’t it true that the TA/DA rates and perks sere agreed to be revised with effect from January, 2012?
as per my knowledge these are effective from the date if its implementation and no arrears against these are paid.
aren’t we loosing a huge amount?
