Hello Everyone !!

All of us are missing Ranbir-Rano very much and this strike doesnt seem to be ending. We need to express our dis-apointment and frustation. But there are multiples threads being opened and

people are posting different articles in different topics.

This gets confusing for other members. So, I have started this thread where you will find all articles about strike posted earlier and from now on please post any

new articles in this thread only. Also, you can discuss about missing RR here itself. Please note any new topics about strike or missing RR will be immediately closed.

Here are the articles.

TV workers may climb down, settle for marginal hike

Prithwish Ganguly & Soumyadipta Banerjee

Monday, November 17, 2008 04:10 IST

Sandwiched between the workers' federation and the channels, the TV producers are working on a 'revised' salary structure to coerce the workers and the technicians to return to work.

In a clear sign that they too are ready to come back on the negotiating table, the workers' federation indicated that they may consider the proposal of a marginal pay hike that will be offered at the producers' meet today.

"I have been told that the producers are going to offer a pay hike that might not match up to what we have been demanding. We might consider it, but we first need to see the proposal," said Dharmesh Tiwari, president of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).

The producers have abandoned the idea of putting a contract salary system in place as the workers have not agreed to it.

"We will have to work out a way to appease the channels and the workers. As of now, we have charted out a revised salary structure which will increase the monthly earning of all workers. Then we will have meetings with the channels," said a top official of the producers' body.

According to the draft proposal, a worker's salary will increase by 10-15% per month. The producers will try to keep their margins and the production costs of the soaps low and will pass on only a part of the increased budget to the channels.

Mukesh Bhatt, chairman of the producers' body, said, "We are having a crucial meeting on Monday where we will debate on what can be done to break this deadlock. This is hurting everybody."

However, the official said that the current crisis may continue for another week.
Advertisers back broadcasters: In a fillip to TV channels during the ongoing impasse between producers and cine workers, advertisers' apex body has asked its members not to ask for a tariff cut immediately.

"We have asked our members to support the broadcasters. We are hopeful of arriving at a solution before November 20," said Madhukar Kamath, president, Advertising Agencies Association of India .

Day 8: No progress in sight

Indiantelevision.com Team

(17 November 2008 10:00 pm)

MUMBAI: The Hindi general entertainment channels (GEC) are facing the heat of the on-going dispute between the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and TV producers union.

In its eight day, none of the three parties had blinked, refusing to budge from their stances. However, it is to be seen how long will each of them hold out.

Since 10 November, nine GECs have blanked out fresh shows, following a joint stand taken by them.

When contacted a producer said, "No we have had no meetings either with broadcasters or workers." The producers, however, had a marathon meeting this evening.

FWICE general secretary Dinesh Chaturvedi said: "We only want revised wages for our workers."

When asked about how long viewers may have to go through this ordeal, Chaturvedi added: "I believe this situation may stretch up 20-21 November."

Meanwhile, there were rumours in the industry this morning that the strike had been called off and that the producers had managed to convince the FWICE to increase wages by 10-12 per cent as against their demand of 15 per cent. Additionally, senior officials from Sony Entertainment Television were also of the opinion that the strike is likely to be called off soon - in fact within "a couple of days."

When an indiantelevision.com correspondent went to meet the FWICE officials in the afternoon, the office was packed with workers who were discussing wages for the various crafts with the union leaders.

However, Chaturvedi rejected the rumours saying that no resolution seems to be in sight and that they would stand firm and united on their demands. "No strike settlement can be reached without me knowing the details," he said.
