Plea for national minimum wage - Indian National Trade Union Congress
INTUC today demanded proper implementation of labour laws in the country and asked the Centre to fix a national minimum wage.
National minimum wage should be fixed by the Central government and it should not be left to the state governments to decide, INTUC national president G Sanjeeva Reddy told reporters here. The national minimum wage should be the benchmark on which wages are fixed, he said.
Alleging that the central, state PSUs and private sector units were converting permanent employees into contract workers, he said doors were being opened for contract workers.
"We will press government to prohibit contract system."
Contract workers should be paid on a par with permanent workers, he said, adding it should be equal pay for equal work.
