TV producers send mixed signals, no solution yet
MUMBAI: Mixed signals are coming from television serial producers in the continuing stand-off between them and the workers.
Even as some producers indicated on Friday that they were ready to smoke the peace pipe, there were others who threatened the striking workers that they would be replaced with fresh recruits if they did not return to the sets immediately.
Federation of Western India Cine Employees general secretary Dinesh Chaturvedi said: "Some people from Dheeraj Kumars Creative have threatened our workers. They have been asked
to return to work, failing which they will be replaced by outsiders.''
Members of J D Majithias production house, too, have said the same thing apparently. But, at the same time, Chaturvedi has been getting feelers from the core committee of the television producers organisation, asking him to discuss revised rates.
The state government on Friday also indicated that it was keeping a watch on the unfolding drama; an inspector from the state labour department met FWICE members. "An inspector from the state labour department met us and told us that the labour commissioner would soon be calling a meeting of workers and producers at its office in Mumbai Central,'' Chaturvedi said. The meeting is likely to happen in three days.
