In response to concerns over potential worker unrest, factories in the IMT Manesar industrial area, Haryana, are proactively communicating revised wage structures to their employees. This area houses about 3,000 factories with a workforce of 3.5 to 4 lakh people, including around 1 lakh unskilled and contractual workers earning minimum wages. Manoj Tyagi, general secretary of the IMT Industrial Association, emphasized the importance of addressing wage hikes to prevent protests and ensure worker satisfaction. The Haryana government has implemented a 35% salary increase for various categories of workers, which the industries are committed to following. Prahlad Kumar Godara, vice-president of Munjal Showa Ltd, confirmed that they are aligning wages with the new minimum pay standards after discussions with labor officials. Similarly, Atul Mukhi, owner of Cosmo India Private Ltd, highlighted the positive impact of the wage hike on workers' families, underscoring the belief that underpaid workers ultimately harm factory owners as well.
