Coimbatore, May 19

THE AITUC will discuss the proposal of the Tamil Nadu Government to bring the textile industry under the Minimum Wages Act at its state council meet scheduled to be held in Hogenakal on May 24 and 25.

AITUC, a member in the State's eight-union affiliated joint action committee of textile workers' unions, will also take up the issue before its national textile forum, the All-India Textile Workers Federation, which is likely to meet in Pondicherry soon, according to Mr Arumugham, leader and general secretary of the AITUC-affiliated Coimbatore district mill workers union.

He said the Tamil Nadu Government's decision to bring the textile workers under the Act would have an all-India ramification. The union wanted to analyse the issue thread bare internally before it could present its views, he said.

The joint action committee (JAC) of the TN textile workers unions too has decided to buy time before it can officially react to the Tamil Nadu Government's Order inviting trade unions' comments to its proposal to bring textile workers under the ambit of the Minimum Wages Act, he added.

The Tamil Nadu Government's Department of Labour and Employment has issued the GO in February 2005 notifying its proposal to bring the textile sector under the Minimum Wages Act and inviting the views of textile mill managements and trade unions.
