It's that time of the year again when we pause to pay tribute to the people who keep the engine of the economy running - workers. In recent times, the media had announced impending price hikes in view of the increasing prices of raw materials so prices of basic amenities, food especially, will see upward revisions everywhere. Are wages keeping up with this? Who determines if the wages should keep abreast with the times? Should it be kept in check at all? These are the issues of labour welfare which are rightfully under the ambit of the union. But the union here has a friendly relationship with the government & always scope their interest with compliance in mind. What's the point of having an organization supposedly looking after the acute interests of workers? You can be friendly but remember who you are looking after.
On that note, here's wishing all workers a deserving day of rest, it's a long weekend for many of us with the festive holiday as the bonus extension.
