Visakhapatnam: Visakha District Council President of All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) B Ch Masen demanded that the state government issue a fresh GO amending the payment of minimum wages as Rs 18,000 per month considering the growing prices of essential commodities in view.
The district council staged a protest in front of the Regional Labour Commissioner Office here on Friday demanding a hike in minimum wages. Speaking on the occasion, Masen alleged that the working class is suffering a lot as minimum wages are not being paid in proportion to the rise in essential commodities.
District additional general secretary B Venkata Rao informed that the tenure of the GO issued by the previous government in 2012 was completed by March this year. Hence, new wages should be implemented for contract workers and that of working in the private sector. He also demanded that the government immediately appoint advisory committee to fix minimum wages of Rs 18,000 per month and issue a fresh GO.
Another leader Padala Ramana urged the government to discuss with various trade unions before fixing minimum wages. Other leaders K Satyanjaneya, G Vamana Murty, M Manmadha Rao, Sk Rehaman, Ch Lakshmana Rao, B Devaraj, B Prasanth Kumar, P Govind and others participated. Later, they submitted a representation to the officials.
