Estate workers will receive a total of Rs 800 as a daily wage, Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera said at a media briefing a short while ago.
"The wage which stood at Rs 700 was increased upto Rs 720 following the signing of the collective agreement. However, state workers would now receive a total of Rs 800 inclusive of EPF and ETF deductions," he said.
Further, estate workers will receive a daily allowance of Rs 50 from April onwards.
This decision was made following talks which were held along with Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) parliamentarian Mano Ganesan, MP Digambaram and V. Radhakrishnan.
