Committee of Ministers meets on pay hikes for oil PSU officers
New Delhi (PTI): A Committee of Ministers headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram on Thursday held its first meeting to look into the anomalies in the pay hike approved by the government for executives of public sector companies.
"The government is going to be very sympathetic (to the demands made by oil PSU officers)," Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said before going for the meeting.
Oil PSU executives had struck work for 60 hours earlier this month, crippling fuel supplies, in protest against a mere 18 per cent increase in wages approved by the government. They had also protested against bureaucrats watering down the Justice Roa Committee recommendations for pay revisions.
After protests, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had constituted the ministerial panel to look into their demands.
"Nothing has been finalised just now. This was the first meeting," Deora said after the one-hour meeting.
The Department of Public Enterprises briefed the committee on issues concerning wage hike.
Chidambaram is likely to call representatives of the executives to make a presentation at the next meeting and may take a third meeting before finalising the recommendations.
