 MUMBAI:
The impasse between the Producers and the TV workers unions
has finally come to an end. After a six hour long meeting
involving all the four producers bodies and the Federation
of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), an announcement was
made a short while ago, that the two had resolved their differences
on workers wages.
 According
to Mukesh Bhatt and FWICE President Dharmesh Tewari, the interests
of the lower most section of the trade have been kept in mind.
"Workers will move from a per day payment to a monthly
wage," said Bhatt. "Their work timings will be between
9 am and 10 pm, beyond that they will be paid on a pro-rata
basis," added Tiwari.
"We
are happy about the settlement," said Tiwari. Both the
parties acknowledged the contribution of Fox Studios India
head Deepak Segal and Hats Off Productions JD Majethia in
reaching a resolution.
 It
is learnt that the shooting of serials will commence tonight.
This
was the biggest crisis ever faced by the TV industry and as
both sides were holding out, refusing to budge. Fresh programming
telecasts are likely to start within the next couple of days.
