How much have producers offered?
According to reports, the Telugu Film Producers Council and the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce reportedly offered a 5% wage hike, but the Federation immediately rejected it.
However, it is learnt that discussions have been going on between the Film Board and the Film Workers Union regarding the salaries of the workers for the past few days. But there is no clarity on this till now. The union leaders have demanded a 30 percent increase in their salaries.
They have made it clear that they will participate in the shooting only after getting a clear understanding of salaries. Similarly, the Film Federation has also put forward its demands to the producers to pay salaries daily without any pending issues. The Federation has taken a sensational decision to boycott all types of shootings across Tollywood from tomorrow, demanding a clear guarantee on these.
