Minimum Wages Act: Unions say implementation ‘just on paper’

Ramesh Shetty (name changed), who works as an unskilled labour in an automobile company in Chinchwad, has been making Rs 7,000 per month for the last one year, instead of the mandatory Rs 9,000. A migrant labourer, Shetty said the fear of losing his only source of income has kept him silent. “Labour leaders in the neighbouring companies have told me that I am getting lesser than I should. But I do not want to take any action, as I may end up losing my only source of income,” he said.
