It’s
back to lights on in Kollywood! The
Cinema and TV Lightmen Association and
Technicians’ Association have
been on strike for a couple of weeks
demanding a pay hike. This issue was
finally resolved by the Producers’
Council and FEFSI. In a joint statement
issued by these two associations, the
Producers’ Council President Rama
Narayanan and
FEFSI Vijayan said that the talks between
the concerned parties were fruitful and the
Cinema and TV Lightmen Association and Technicians’
Association has decided to end their strike
from August 17th.
According to the new agreement the workers
in these organizations would be paid according
to the agreement entered in January 2008 and
it would stay in force till 2011. Also, their
work hours henceforth would be from 6 am to
6 pm.
