Four-year wage revision in Tirupur garment industry

The garment industry and trade unions in Tirupur have agreed for wage revision once in four years, thus ending the six-month long stalemate over the issue.

The employers wanted a five-year period for revision, as against three years demanded by the trade unions. The present agreement took place at a tripartite meeting held yesterday before the Joint Commissioner of Labour, they said.

The Tirupur Exporters' Association secretary Karthikeyan, South India Hosiery Manufacturers' Association president Mohan Kandasamy and representatives of trade unions AITUC, INTUC, ATP, LPF, MLF and CITU participated in the meeting, the 19th in the series.
