flag Kerala to revise private hospital workers' wages after failed talks, aiming for up to 60% increase.

flag The Kerala government will release a draft notification within a month to revise minimum wages for private hospital workers, invoking Section 5(1)(b) of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, after negotiations with management failed. flag The move follows a 2023 committee’s efforts across all 14 districts that reached no consensus due to management resistance. flag Current wages, based on a 2013 notification, are seen as inadequate for basic living costs. flag Trade unions support a proposed 60% increase. flag The draft, to be published in the official gazette, will consider input from medical professionals and ensure hospitals face no additional financial burden. flag The decision was made during a meeting of the Private Hospital Industrial Relations Committee.
