All of the crafts voiced their grievances, saying they were not happy with the settlement through the day by raising a protest outside the FWICE offices. Giving into the pressure, the FWICE said it would not honour the memorandum of understanding it signed with the producers bodies yesterday. "We are scrapping the MoU signed by us yesterday," said FWICE secretary Dinesh Chaturvedi, addressing the press a short while ago. "We are doing this seeing the reaction of the workers towards it." Additionally, indications are that the standoff could spill over and hit the film sector too, with production executives there too asking for wage revisions. |
