This should apply to only large estates not to small tea estates which is under 50 acres. Otherwise the small tea estates will go bankrupt and the estate workers will lose their employment.

this is not a "pay rise". Rs.1000 daily is a basic right.

Those who pronated here were not State Workers> All state workers are working in Colombo and suburbs. They are working super jobs in Colombo and went special for this political game.

Pay should be matched with the output..... otherwise all plantations companies will go bankrupt.
