Hearing on Legal Issues on Majithia Starts in Supreme Court

Posted on by B4M Reporter

Hearing on the legal issues of the Majithia Contempt case started today in the Supreme Court. It remained incomplete and will continue on the next Tuesday, 17th January. From the side of the employees Shri Colin Gonsalves, Senior Advocate, submitted that Section 20j of the Wage Board Award was being wrongly used by the newspaper owners to deny the benefits of the Award to employees. It was, in fact, incorporated to help those employees, who were being paid more than what the Wage Board had recommended.

Justice Bhachawat, a well-wisher of newspaper employees, passes away

Posted on by B4M Reporter

In the death of Justice (Rtd.) U.N. Bhachawat yesterday morning, the newspaper employees have lost their true well-wisher. It was he who laid the foundation stone of the wage structures, allowances of the newspaper employees and the classification of the newspapers. Before Justice Bhachawat all other wage boards- Divatia, Shinde and Palekar- had run into rough weathers because of the objections and legal impediments created by the proprietors, led by notorious blackmailer Ram Nath Goenka. Recommendations of the first wage board were struck down by the constitution bench in the Indian Express case. Thereafter the Shinde wage committee was formed through an ordinance but, that too, could not do justice to employees. The Palekar wage board was constituted in 1975 but it could not function due to non-cooperation of the employers. Later on, it was converted into one man Tribunal. Therefore, the wage board under the chairmanship of Justice Bhachawat was the first of its kind, which prepared the ground for all other subsequent wage boards.

देश भर से इस बात को लेकर पूछताछ की जा रही है कि 16 नवंबर को सुप्रीम कोर्ट में मजीठिया मामले में हुई सुनवाई के दौरान क्या हुआ। हालांकि सुनवाई के दौरान कोर्ट रूम में कई अखबार कर्मी मौजूद थे। उन्होंने बाकी साथियों को इस संबंध में सूचनाओं का आदान-प्रदान भी किया है, फिर भी जिज्ञासा बनी हुई है। हालांकि इस दिन अखबार कर्मियों के पक्ष में कोई भी सुनवाई नहीं हुई। इस दौरान विशेषतौर पर इनाडू अखबार के प्रकाशक उषोदया पब्लिकेशन्स की ओर से उस समय आशा की किरण दिखाई दी, जब सीनियर एडवोकेट गोपाल सुब्रामण्यम ने यह कहते हुए कोर्ट से समय की मांग की कि वह मजीठिया वेजबोर्ड कार्यान्वयन से जुड़े विवरण पर अपने मुवक्किल एवं अखबार के मालिक रामोजी राव से चर्चा करना चाहते हैं।

Apprise with factual position to Inspectors for Majithia

Posted on by B4M Reporter

The struggle, rather the battle, for Majithia Awards has come to decisive phase of the history. Most of the governments have already appointed Special Labour Inspectors on the direction of the hon’ble Supreme Court of India on 28.04.2015. There are, however, some states, which find luxury in laziness, and they have yet to act on it. The major states, which have not moved in this direction so far are – Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal. This act of these laggard states itself amounts to the contempt of the Court.
