How sad that for those that labour to give India one of its best exports get only 53.90/- per day for backbreaking work for minimum 8hours!!!!This is sickening news. And smacks of explotation. And now they are haggling over a Re 1.40/- wage difference.It is even lower I am sure than the minimum wages set for labour.The Industry heads need to quickly address this situation.
