Wage hikes, weekly offs, and better working conditions have emerged as key demands of workers in Gautam Buddh Nagar amid ongoing discussions between labour representatives and a high-level committee.
The committee, constituted by the Uttar Pradesh government, held a meeting with worker representatives and other stakeholders in Greater Noida, where employees from various industrial units outlined their concerns in detail.
Workers are seeking a wage revision from ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 per month to ₹18,000- ₹20,000, citing rising living costs and disparities with neighbouring states.
Additionally, employees have also raised demands for a guaranteed weekly day off and strict enforcement of double overtime payment.
Officials said the meeting was part of a multi-phase consultation process aimed at hearing grievances from all stakeholders.
Further rounds of meetings will be held in the coming days, and decisions on key demands, particularly wage revisions, will be taken at the government level.
