Option 2 : 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

  • In the 1950s and 60s, when the organized labor sector was at a nascent stage of its development without adequate unionization or with trade unions without adequate bargaining power, the Government in the realization of the problems which arise in the arena of wage fixation due to the absence of such bargaining power, constituted various Wage Boards. 
  • The Wage Boards are tripartite in character in which representatives of workers, employers, and independent members participate and finalize the recommendations. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
  • It helps in determining the wages of the workers in different categories.
  • The wage board fixes and revises various components of wages like HRA, DA, Basic Pay, etc.
  • The Second Commission suggested that there is no need for any wage board for fixing wage rates for workers in any industry. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
    • It opined that each state or union territory should have the authority to fix minimum rates of wage not less than the national level
  • The Wage Boards for journalists and non-journalists newspaper and news-agency employees are statutory Wage Board and all other Wage Boards are non-statutory in nature. Hence, Statement 2 is NOT correct.
    • Therefore, recommendations made by these Wage Boards are not enforceable under the law.

You are to decide which of the given conclusions can definitely be drawn from the given statements and indicate your answer accordingly. Statements: I. After a Pay Commission bonanza of 2% hike in dearness allowance in March, central government employees and pensioners can expect another round of salary increase with the government set to modify the index and base year for calculating dearness allowance.  II. The labour ministry is working on a new series of consumer price index for industrial workers (CPI-IW), which is used to determine dearness allowance (DA).  Conclusions: I.
