After 5 months of militant struggle, in which leaders of BSNLEU
and SNEA were suspended, transferred and charge-sheeted, the Kerala BSNL
contract workers have won their demands for higher wages. As the orders issued
on the basis of the agreement reached between the union and the circle
Management, the new rates are as follows:
2. Semiskilled
Labour: Rs. 343 (Rs. 258 earlier)
3. Skilled
Labour : Rs. 351 (Rs. 258 earlier)
4. Out
door workers will get Rs.17/- as
transport allowance.
5. Variable

rates will be implemented from 1st August 2015.

These rates are based on the minimum wages for Kerala State.
