TG Prasad sends notice to Telugu Employees’ Federation amid strike
The ongoing wage hike demand by the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation (TFIEF) has taken a new turn with producer TG Vishwa Prasad sending a legal notice to the union leaders. The notice comes as a response to the strike called by the union demanding a 30% hike in wages from the producers. In his notice, Prasad has strongly opposed the strike, terming the workers as “unions mafia”.
The dispute between the TFIEF and the producers began when the union demanded a 30% hike in wages for the film industry employees. The union leaders claimed that the wage hike was necessary to compensate for the rising cost of living in the city. However, the producers, including Prasad, refused to comply with the demand, citing financial constraints.
In response to the strike, Prasad has sent a notice to the union leaders, claiming that the strike is illegal and unconstitutional. He has also accused the union leaders of being “unions mafia” and has demanded that they call off the strike immediately. The notice has been sent to the Telugu Employees’ Federation, the union that represents the workers in the film industry.
The notice has been received by the union leaders, who have vowed to continue the strike until their demands are met. In a statement, the union leaders said that they will not work on any production that is owned by Prasad until a court rules on the matter. This means that all the films and television shows produced by Prasad’s company will not have any workers on board until the dispute is resolved.
The strike has already affected several film and television productions, with many workers refusing to work until their demands are met. The strike has also affected the shooting schedules of several films, with many producers struggling to find alternative arrangements.
The dispute between the TFIEF and the producers has been ongoing for several months, but it has taken a new turn with Prasad’s notice. The notice has sparked a heated debate in the industry, with many workers and producers weighing in on the issue.
Some workers have come out in support of the union, claiming that the wage hike is necessary to ensure that they can make a living in the city. They have also accused the producers of being greedy and refusing to share the profits of their films.
On the other hand, some producers have accused the union of being unreasonable and demanding too much. They have also claimed that the wage hike will add to the already high production costs of the films.
The dispute is likely to continue for some time, with both parties refusing to budge. The court will have to intervene to resolve the issue, and it remains to be seen how the dispute will be settled.
In the meantime, the workers and producers will have to continue to live with the uncertainty of the dispute. The strike has already caused significant disruption to the film industry, and it will take some time for things to return to normal.
The dispute is a reminder of the importance of communication and negotiation in resolving industrial disputes. It is also a reminder of the need for the film industry to come together and find a solution that works for everyone.
In conclusion, the dispute between the TFIEF and the producers is a complex issue that requires careful consideration and negotiation. Both parties have valid points, and it is up to the court to decide how the dispute will be settled. Until then, the workers and producers will have to continue to live with the uncertainty of the dispute.
