AITUC held a press conference recently in Panjim where they criticized the state’s minimum wage notification as unscientific and unfair to the working class. The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) condemned the government’s decision, stating that it failed to address the rising costs of essential goods and services, including education, healthcare, and electricity. AITUC General Secretary Christopher Fonseca highlighted that the wages were unjustified given the increasing financial burden on families. He also announced plans for a public demonstration as a step toward opposing this decision. The union is calling for a fair living wage for all workers in Goa.
