A special meeting between the estate trade unions and the estate owners’ federation is currently being held to discuss revising the wages of estate labourers.

MP Suresh Wadiwail of Lanka National Estate Workers Union, MP Arumugam Thondaman of Ceylon Workers Congress and several trade unionists have joined in the discussion being held at the Lanka national estate labourers hall at Rajagiriya.

Estate Workers trade unions have been demanding a wage increase for a long time.

The collective agreement in that regard will expire this October.

The estate labourers and their employers will draw their attention to this longstanding demand.
