Contract workers, Karnataka, Minimum Wage

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated that 11,000 contract workers will be regularised within the next three months. He also stated that the present minimum wages of Rs. 4,000 – 5,000 will be increased to Rs. 17,000.

Assurances are well taken. The government should implements its assurances. The workers will certainly need to fight to get the assurance implemented.

BSNLCCWF, Jharkhand, Minimum Wage, UP(East)

Com.V.A.N.Namboodiri, President, BSNLCCWF met Shri A.M.Gupta, GM(Restg), BSNL C.O. and discussed about the non-settlement of issues of contract workers in many circles. He pointed out that the contract workers in Jharkhand are not being paid full wages. Instead of making payment through cheque or accounts as per orders of the CMD BSNL, they are being paid in cash to avoid scrutiny. In UP(East) Circle, despite bringing the non-payment of minimum wage and non-implementation of EPF and ESI to the notice of the corporate office, the issues remain still unsettled.

GM(Restructuring) stated that several instructions have been issued and that Corporate Office is monitoring the cases. He assured that necessary action will be taken to implement the orders at the field level. Comprehensive orders are also being issued.

The Government should issue orders on increased minimum wage

CCWF, Contract workers, Minimum Wage

The Central Trade Unions have demanded that the minimum wage for the contract workers should be increased to Rs. 18,000. The government without conceding the demand took decision that the minimum wage will be Rs. 10,000. Though it is almost six months since the government decision was announced, no orders have been issued raising the minimum wage either to Rs.18,000 or to Rs.10,000. Empty assurances have become part of the Modi Government.

The Central Government should issue without further delay raising the minimum wage to Rs. 18,000.

The CTUs have also decided to go on strike on 2nd September 2016, on a Charter of Demands including this.

The Minister also stated that the minimum wage has been fixed considering the cost of living and the judgment of the Supreme Court.

The minimum wage is fixed at Rs.10,000. Now another struggle will have to be fought to get it implemented for the contract workers. Workers are waiting for the order to be issued.

Despite strong protests from Central TUs, Govt. moves to fix Rs. 10,000 as minimum Wage

2016, BSNLCCWF, Contract Worker, Minimum Wage

The Central Trade Unions have demanded Rs. 18,000 as minimum wage for contract workers and it is one of the demands on which a one day strike will take place on 2nd September 2016. The demand for a minimum wage of Rs.15,000 has been updated to Rs. 18,000, after the VII CPC has recommended Rs.10,000 as the lowest wage on the basis of the Dr. Akroyd formula. While this demand is pending, the government is proposing Rs. 10,000 only as minimum wage to contract workers. This is discrimination and denial justice.

BSNLCCWF strongly oppose the move of the Central government to fix a minimum wage less than Rs. 18,000. It strongly demands that the minimum wage for contract workers be fixed at Rs.18,000.

Rs. 10,000 as Minimum Wage instead of Rs.18,000 ? Protest against Labour Ministry proposal

000, BSNLCCWF, Minimum Wage, Rs.18

It is reported that the Labour Ministry is proposing to fix the minimum wages at Rs.10,000 to the contract workers. This is nothing but cheating the hard working workers. According to Dr. Akroyd’s formula, the Minimum Wag comes to Rs. 26,000 as demanded by the Central Government employees. The VII Central Pay Commission did grant only Rs. 18,000. The Central Trade Unions have demanded that at least Rs.18,000 should be granted as minimum wage to the contract workers and the ‘Equal Wage for Equal Work’ should also be introduced.

But ignoring all these genuine demands, the Labour Ministry is proceeding to fix the minimum wage to Rs.10,000, which is only a very small increase from the present. There should be strong protest against this cheating of the workers at the behest of the employers and the corporates. BSNLCCWF expresses its strong protest at this injustice.

At least a minimum wage of Rs. 18,000 should be fixed immediately.

Minimum Wages increased in U.K.

Minimum Wage, UK

The U.K.Government has increased the hourly minimum wage to attract more workers to UK. The wage for one hour earlier was £ 6.70 ( Appx. Rs. 497), which has now been increased to £ 7.20 ( Rs. 680), an increase of about Rs. 180/-. The daily wage (for 8 hours) will come to about Rs. 5,440 in addition to other social security benefits.

In India, even the minimum wage decided by the government is not paid to the workers, including in BSNL, a Public Sector Unit. Only sustained struggle is the way to achieve the same.
