Equal pay for Equal Work

Equal pay for Equal Work

I recalled the one of my friend experience who is employed with MGNREGA in one of Indian State. Since last 10 year he has been working on gross salary of twenty five thousands . And expecting that one day salary would be hike as per norms. I recalled this because ,today news paper carried story about Delhi Chief minister accomodated demand from to increase salary of all contractual workers employed with Delhi State Health Mission (DSHM) related projects. In delhi there are alone 3000 contractual workers employed under this Scheme,work in hospitals as paramedical staff  or in the administrative posts

 Central or State powered scheme employed thousand of youth in hope getting permanent or equal pay to compare their colleague. There are thousand scheme being implemented by state with sharing mode of bearing expenditure to meet administrative  and human resources cost.

During month of October 2016, the Supreme Court ruled on that temporary workers are entitled to wages at par with permanent employees that brings relief to lakhs of contractual employees working in government departments and agencies.


MNREGA functionaries and Anganwadi Sevikas, agitators raised similar demands of job security and payment of arrears, among others from each state of India. 

Supreme Court also laid down the legal position regarding “equal wages for equal work” as available in various judgements of the Apex Court, applicable to casual, contract and daily-rated workers.

It is concluded that State sponsored scheme is not following norms and constitutional rights upheld by Supreme Court.

Could it lead to delays in delivery (if a customs official refuses to release goods at the border until he gets a kickback)?  To failing to win a contract (if a minister expects a 10% cut of the procurement deal)?
