Powerloom Wage: Talks Today

Wage talks for the job working powerloom units in Coimbatore and Tirupur districts will be held at Codissia Trade Fair complex here on Monday.

The job working units are on strike from January 28 demanding that wages agreed upon with textile manufacturers in 2014 be implemented.

Owners of the striking units said that the manufacturers had reduced the wages during the last few months.

According to industry sources, the talks were to be held at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the presence of the local administration minister and forest department minister.

However, some of the job working powerloom unit owners and textile manufacturers had left the venue as talks had not started even in the evening and the Ministers came only by 8 p.m.
