Assam Tea Workers Complain of Low Hike in Daily Wage

By Arijit Sen

They have the grueling task of picking the tea leaves, with which you and I brew our everyday morning chai. But these tea plantation workers hardly earn in an hour, what we spend on a cup of tea. They have just received a hike on their daily wage of Rs 58.50.

Dhiraj Kakati is with the Assam Branch of the India Tea Association.... He justifies the hike saying it was decided after several meetings with the INTUC-led tea workers trade union...
