Kerala Draft Report Suggests Higher Minimum Wages
Kerala's Labour Minister Bindhu Krishna gave a draft report on how the new national Labour Codes are being put into practice to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan on Wednesday. The draft suggests higher minimum wages and wider eligibility for bonus payments. It is still a draft, so the proposals can change before any final decision.
