I am posting it here with his permission:

I appreciate your true feelings for the contract workers ,my heart always cry for the contract workers.Rs.50/per day for each family member per day?for family of four,Is it sufficient?what they will spend on education,cloths?Will it provide them minimum basic food? NO "WE"are creating a young India generation full of malnutrition, will they be able to work ?how India will progress?
Vivek, I blame our fraternity, they should take it up strongly with their CO/CEO/Presidents for equal welfare facilities and "Fair wage". I did it at M&M, others should fight for them at least on humanitarian base.
Warm Regards
Sattish Ghogre

The law doesn't ensure salary higher than minimum wage even for 'on-roll' workmen.
one answer may be an ability to form union but then nothing stops the CL to form a union – we have seen maruti example.

One short term solution may be to modify S.10 of CLRA a little – word 'may' be replaced by 'shall'.(the govt dependent on business community for funds may find it difficult). many of the issues may get sorted.
it still wonn't answer as to why managements cant keep the wages of on-roll workmen to 'min wage' whereas manage to keep it that way for CL since ages. the solution to the problem may lie in the answer to this question.

A relative of Fritz Perls? It occupies the empty chair on your wondow. You see there are no snakes in Germany. Perhaps, Lulu does know a tale there too.

This is Shri VSP'S unique strength.

Also very naturally he has gone beyond the obvious.

Our compliments to him for this fresh approach to this critical subject.
Himanshu M.Bhatt…SURAT.

Unlike other countries, we are still slaves of 'class-based', 'caste-based' thinking – that percolates down in the way to design & run operations. Certain jobs (housekeeping, gardening, sanitation, catering) are still looked down as jobs to be carried out by lowest strata of the society. Economics of doing the business (labour intensive manufacturing) gives employers lever to offer 'bare minimum' to CL. Within CL – skilled resources (engineering, boiler operators) still command premium but rest of CL is a common amorphous mass that has no identity.
