Producers, TV workers fail to break deadlock

16 Nov 2008, 0106 hrs IST, Bharati Dubey, TNN

According to industry sources, a meeting was held between Mukesh Bhatt, convenor of the core committee of the television producers body, and Federation of Western India Cine Eployees (FWICE) general secretary Dinesh Chaturvedi on Saturday afternoon.

Bhatt has reportedly offered to revise some of the rates as demanded by the FWICE.

However, the meeting had no outcome as the offer was only verbal. A source from the federation said, Chaturvedi has asked Bhatt to either accept or reject the offer, subject to clearance from all committee members of the FWICE.

In all probability, members of the Allied Mazdoor Union, who are daily wage workers, are likely to benefit, but members of other unions will have to accept contractual rates. However, a senior member from the federation said, I dont think it will be accepted easily, the producers will need to do a lot of convincing if the issue has to be resolved.

Broadcasters have already begun pressurising the producers to resolve the issue at the earliest as advertisers have allegedly threatened to cut the advertisement rates to half after November 21.

While producers are hassled due to pressures from broadcasters, about 75% of workers are busy shooting for films and music albums. Chaturvedi said, Our workers are at ease as most of them are busy working on albums, movies and ad films. Besides, our workers had been preparing for such a time and are ready to fight for their bread.

Incidentally, it was only after an MoU was signed between workers and producers on October 3 that most producers began paying workers their revised rates.

Prem Singh Thakur of the Allied Mazdoor Union said, All producers, including Dheeraj Kumar, Ekta Kapoor and others, have begun paying our workers according to the revised rates. However, the payments were stopped after broadcasters asked them to cancel shooting on October 23.
