The State government must increase the bonus for government employees in the current financial year, urged former MLA and State president of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) A. Soundararajan. The bonus was slashed by the AIADMK government from 20% to 10% in sectors such as TNSTC, Aavin and Tangedco in the previous year, he told press persons on Wednesday. The government must ensure weekly off for women working in private garment companies in Tiruppur district, he added.
