June 06, 2011 (LBO) - Sri Lanka's regional plantations companies and estate labour unions have agreed to renew a two-year wage deal with a worker's basic wage being raised to 380 rupees from 285 previously.

Muthu Sivalingam, president of the Ceylon Workers Congress, the biggest union, told Vimasuma.com, our sister news website, that under the deal, signed Monday afternoon, a worker's total daily wage would rise to 515 rupees from 405 rupees previously.
The agreement is between the Employers Federation of Ceylon, representing 22 regional plantation companies, and three unions representing workers on the island's tea and rubber estates.

Kanishka Weerasinghe, deputy director general of the EFC, said the two sides had also agreed on other payments including a fixed price share supplement of 30 rupees and an attendance bonus of 105 rupees.

The last collective wage agreement expired in March 2011 and its renewal was crucial with wages accounting for about 60 percent of production costs.

Sri Lanka's tea industry is said to have the highest production costs among top tea exporters.

Well bottom-line get affected due to high cost of production.. this is in overall not only for Tea while Tea is the main hit here.
Companies will have to operate on low profit margins to produce tea at previous rates or they'll have to increase the Tea price..

Rubber is less labour intensive hence the more rubber you have more the benefits u get.. However there are no 100% rubber plantations in SL.

Over the past few weeks.. I told this is the reason for present setback of plantation prices. But except few people nobody believed. Some past me hints saying spreading bad news to collect at low.. I wonder they still live in their dream world Basketball

If the wage increase is around 20% I dont think that will effect largely. May be workers would be happy and therefore productivity would improve. Companies could not peacefully manage their businesses unless they share benefits with major stakeholders. Employees should have some reasonable share of the benefit of reacent price increase of the agro commodities..

Anybody got expertise to confirm that labor cost for tea is considerably higher than for rubber? I have heard people say this and others repeat that. I mean if it's 60% and 50% of the total cost of production then that is not a significant difference.
