FCI depots at   West Hill (Calicut), Mavelikkara and Chalakkudi in Kerala are still to be brought under   the Direct Payment system to ensure parity in wages for the loaders working at these   depots. An upward revision of Rs. 50 in daily wages for the loaders was awarded by the   Bombay High Court and a tribunal in Chennai, which has yet to be given effect to by the   FCI management.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Central Government has been generous in declaring a hike in DA for   its staff at the rate of 3 per cent recently, which works out to an annual cost of more   than Rs. 1,600 crore to the exchequer. The likely outgo on account of enhanced wages to   the FCI loaders will not exceed Rs. 95 crore a year. I urge the Government to be equally   generous to the blue-collar workforce of its public undertaking &#8212; FCI &#8212; serving the   social sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Need To Enhance The Wages Of Head Loaders Working In Food Corporation &#8230; on 20 April, 2005 Title: Need to enhance the wages of Head Loaders working in Food Corporation of India in Kerala.
