As per report, it is stated that the central government is considering the proposal of the labour department for a minimum wage of Rs. 9,000 for a skilled domestic worker.

This is completely unsatisfactory. The Central trade unions have demanded for Rs. 15,000 for the unskilled, contract workers. The entire workers are going on a one day strike on 2nd September 2015, on demands, including the above.

The government should decide for a minimum wage of rs.15,000 and not below that.
