"In response to employees' demand of 40 per cent wage hike, management first offered 12 per cent, then 15 per cent and now 17.5 per cent offer has been made which is not acceptable to the employees.
The Management also wants to impose certain conditions and snatch existing benefits of employees," he alleged.
The leader warned that the employees would not tolerate such attitude of the management and give a befitting reply.
