Diwali bonus for BMC employees
The Bombay High Court has agreed to the terms of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation(BMC) employees to hand them a bonus of Rs. 7,500 in Mumbai. Earlier BMC had issued a circular on October 15 stating that the employees who went on a strike on the 19th and 20th of on September are not be eligible for bonus for 2010-11.
Around 1,20,000 employees of the BMC affiliated to Municipal Mazdoor Union went on strike last month. The Shiv Sena-led Union who also joined the strike called it off after the government agreed to their terms. The verdict is likely to bring smiles to 35,000 BMC employees.
