State-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) on Wednesday said it is expecting to conclude the wage agreement (NCWA-XI) within a month, which would benefit its 2.38 lakh strong non-executive workers. Wages of the non-executive workers, which account for 94 per cent of Coal India’s workforce, are revised every five years.
The hike is due from July 2021.
In 2017, CIL signed a wage agreement with worker unions proposing a 20 per cent hike in salaries for five years.
In a statement, CIL said, “It is hoping to conclude the eleventh version of the national coal wage agreement (NCWA-XI), within a month, benefitting its 2.38 lakh strong non-executive manpower. The next round of talks is scheduled on May 19, 2023.”
