Demanding 40 per cent interim relief for journalists and non-journalists employees under Wage Boards, Federation of PTI Employees' Unions today asked the Central government to issue a notification in this regard at the earliest.
M S Yadav, Federation's General Secretary, also demanded that the interim relief should be given from the day Wage Boards were constituted.
As per the recommendations of the Wage Boards, interim relief of 30 per cent was proposed from from January 8, 2008, and the government has issued the reference letter for interim relief from the same month.
Addressing the Federation's two-day National Executive meet here, he told delegates that the Centre has given an assurance that it will fulfil the genuine demands of newspaper and news agency employees and an announcement regarding interim relief is likely to be made by this month end.
