Port workers’ strike averted

12 Dec 2024 / India

The threat of a nationwide strike by port workers from 17 December has been averted, following successful negotiations between worker unions and government representatives.

Bipartite wage negotiation committee (BWNC) agreement between the port management and the dock workers federations was honoured by the Central government, thereby averting the strike.

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways will issue orders to the Indian Ports Association to implement the wage revision, and a productivity linked reward scheme agreed with the port workers unions.
