Mohali civic staff launch indefinite protest, seek regularisation, Rs 26k minimum wage | Chandigarh News

2 min readMohaliMay 7, 2026 02:06 PM IST Mohali’s municipal employees under the banner of the Municipal Employees Action Committee, Wednesday, began an indefinite protest outside the Mohali Municipal Corporation office, pressing for regularisation of workers and an end to the outsourcing system. The protest, led by the Safai Sewak Mazdoor Union (Mohali), will continue “until the Punjab government accepts our demands”, the union leaders said. Among the key demands is the regularisation of sanitation workers recruited in 2021 and the abolition of the contractor-driven outsourcing model. The employees alleged that the government has failed to act despite submitting the memorandums for over four-and-a-half years. The union representatives said, “The dharna will continue till our demands are met. This is an anti-employee government that has ignored us despite repeated appeals.” The protesters targeted Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and said, “The CM has consistently made false promises. Nothing has materialised on the ground.” They also pointed out that most sanitation workers earn around Rs 10,000 per month, which they said is insufficient in the current inflationary …

Why Tamil producers are risking an indefinite strike to end massive upfront actor fees | Tamil News

Why Tamil producers are risking an indefinite strike to end massive upfront actor fees | Tamil News

Imagine an actor earning Rs 50 crore per project. Now imagine those projects consistently underperforming. The management steps in with a proposal: the Rs 50 crore pay remains intact, but only 50% is paid upfront. The remaining 50% becomes performance-linked—dependent entirely on the film’s success. Suddenly, the actor is uneasy. The guaranteed paycheck is no longer fully secure, and ensuring the project’s success now demands involvement at every stage, beyond just acting. This hypothetical scenario mirrors the reality unfolding in Tamil cinema today. After years of discussions around revenue sharing being largely ignored by actors, producers have now decided to take a stand. A token strike has been announced for May 2, with a warning of an indefinite halt if actors refuse to negotiate. What’s driving the conflict? For the past two years, Kollywood producers—much like their counterparts in Tollywood and Bollywood—have been pushing for a revenue-sharing model. Under this system, actors and technicians forego fixed fees and instead take a percentage of the film’s earnings. For instance, instead of charging a fixed amount, an …
