"The increment is only in the minimum wage and not in aggregate salary of the employees," FNCCI said. "This agreement was made among the government, employers and employees."
The unions’ demand of increase in salaries in aggregate is against the principle of collective bargaining, it said. "The employees should sit for talks rather than shut down the business of firms."
