New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on approved the setting up of separate Wage Boards for journalists and non-journalist newspaper employees under a common chairman.
''The two boards, which will be under a common chairman, will be for working journalists and for the non-journalist newspaper employees,'' Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi said, as quoted by UNI, after the Cabinet meeting.
The Wage Boards will submit their reports within three years, he added.
The Cabinet also approved creation of three posts – a Chairman, Member Secretary, and Assessor – and will meet the expenses on their salaries and other related costs.
Dasmunsi said that the decision will not have any financial implication for either the Central or state governments, since all the newspaper establishments are in the private sector.
