Central Government agrees to implement our demands –BMS
The Group of Minister headed by Shri Arun Jaitely appointed by the Prime Minister held talks with BMS leaders at the Office of the Finance Minister on 16th August 2016. The talks concluded to implement most of the promises. Shri Arun Jaitely, Chairman of GoM requested BMS leadership to give at least 5 days time to assess the financial implications. Hence the meeting will continue preferably on 22nd August 2016. In view of the positive results BMS decided to defer the decision of strike till that day.
The decisions included implementing minimum wages based on formula adopted in 15th ILC and Supreme Court decision. All contract labourers will be provided minimum wages. Govt. also will clear all barriers on implementing bonus to Government and PSU Employees. ESI benefits will be extended to Aanganwadi and other scheme workers, construction, Auto and Taxi workers. BMS requested to enhance minimum pension in PF which GoM agreed to consider.
Labour Ministry had already sent directions to allow registration to trade unions within 45 days, which is already implemented in 19 states.
Advisory will be sent to all states to strictly implement labour laws. Government will pursue labour law reforms only after proper consultations with trade unions.
GoM also explained the measures taken to curtail price rise and unemployment. Inflation rate is now almost half that of during the previous Government.
BMS requested to reduce pictorial warning of 85% in Beedi packages which was accepted by the GoM.
Further Finance Minister also agreed to consider providing salary relief to workers of Sick PSU’s and its revival which will be discussed with concerned Minister in detail tomorrow.
If all these are implemented it will be historic as it is for the first time that such a package of benefits to workers might be provided given by any Government during the last few decades.
The Group of Ministers which held talks with BMS apart from Shri Arun Jaitely included Shri Bandaru Dattatreye, Shri Piyush Goyal and Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.
Shri Baij Nath Rai, Shri Virjesh Upadhayay, Shri C.K. Saji Narayanan, Shri B. Surendran, Shri Pawan Kumar and Shri S.K. Rathore were present in the talks representing BMS.
