Sugar mill workers seek revision of wage structure

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
ROOPNAGAR, Nov 25: The Punjab Cooperative Sugar Mill Workers' Federation has urged the government to revise the wage structure of the sugar mill employees in the state on the pattern of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka, after abolishing the Sugar Wage Board.

In a press release issued today, Federation president Karnail Singh Lakhimpur said the 20,000 sugar mill employees of the state were facing great hardships due to non-revision of their wage structure since 1998. He said they were not even opposed to the hike in cane prices, provided their wage structure was also revised.
