9th Wage Board for Journos: Cabinet committee finalises report
Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader yesterday said a cabinet committee on Ninth Wage Board Award for newspaper and news agency journalists and employees has finalised its report for cabinet endorsement after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s return home.
“The cabinet committee today at its fourth meeting has finalised the report on ninth wage board award... We think the report is realistic and logical,” Quader, who heads the seven-member cabinet committee, told newsmen at a press conference at the Information Ministry.
He added the committee decided to send its report to cabinet division to be placed before the full cabinet after the premier’s return home from London on August 5, and “after the final approval (by the cabinet), a gazette will be published” for its implementation.
Other members of the committee, including Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud, attended the press conference.
