Wage revision talks for garment workers inconclusive
March 24, 2016
With trade unions seeking further increase in the wages than offered by garment manufacturers, the negotiations in Tirupur today remained inconclusive. The next round of talks will be held on March 30.
In today’s meeting, the Joint Committee of six associations of knitwear garment manufacturers, including South India Hosiery Manufacturers’ Association and Tirupur Exporters’ Association, reiterated its offer of 18 per cent increase in the first year and three per cent in second, third and fourth year.
However, the representatives of eight major trade unions demanded higher increase than the offer and also sought to discuss other issues like dearness allowance and basic needs, President of Joint Action Committee of Trade unions, S. Duraisamy said.
Failing to arrive at any settlement, the next round of talks was fixed on March 30, he said.
