Producers' Body goes on an indefinite strike..
http://www.india-forums.com/tellybuzz/article.asp?id=3405Says Ratna Sinha, Producer Chota Ganpati Telecreations, "Nearly 25 people entered our sets yesterday and took to hooliganism. They have disrupted shoot all over the city giving rise to an ugly scenario. I don't understand why such incidents should happen in a rather peaceful industry like ours!! In fact, my workers are happy with the pay and have even told me that they would continue to shoot; but unfortunately they cannot do so as the Union with which they are bound is causing all problems. I hope all gets better after this".
It is heard that the Federation has demanded a huge rise which is rather unfair. According to our sources, "As per their demand, the producers would be paying at least Rs. 75,000 to still photographers and nearly 30,000/- to the light boys which is totally uncalled for, and unfair".
