One of the five central trade unions the INTUC had demanded a handsome bonus for miners of the Coal India Limited ( CIL) subsidiaries keeping in mind the quantum of bonus announced by the Tata Steel Limited for its workers including those working in coal mines being operated by the steel company.
State INTUC vice president BP Singh in a statement here today said that if Tata Steel can dole out up to Rs 4.20 lakhs ( for current financial year) for its employees why not the CIL as it's profit too depends on the miners .
It's worth mentioning here that Congress backed INTUC is not party of the current JBCCI that hold discussions on National Coal Wave Agreement and other related issues.
Only four central trade unions including RSS backed BMS, HMS , CITU and AITUC happen to be the members of the JBCCI that now is discussing the wave negotiations.
There happens to be deadlock in talks due to demand of higher bonus (now termed as productivity linked reward) by the trade unions but the CIL authorities not willing to increase it.
The CIL has fixed September 28 as next date for discussions on this issue.
Singh said that if the four trade unions fail to get Rs one lakh plus amount per coal miner it when the BMS is there in committee it's would be injustice on part of the coal miners .
