Members of the Loadmen Federation of Centre of Indian Trade Unions on Wednesday staged a demonstration outside the TASMAC warehouse in Ramanathapuram as part of the State-wide protest demanding to increase the wages for unloading boxes at TASMAC warehouses.
R. Sreedharan, district treasurer of the CITU loadmen unit, said, “We now get ₹ 5.50 for a box which was fixed three years back. Earlier, we got only ₹ 3.50 and to increase that to the current wage we protested.”
“The current wage should be increased to ₹ 8. The liquor manufacturers should bear the wage,” he added.
Considering the increase in price of commodities, the wages should be increased accordingly, he added.
