The workers have also asked for linking of dearness allowance (DA) to basic pay instead of a fixed amount being given currently. Among other demands, it is understood that the workers have also asked for increasing the number of privilege and casual leaves, offer conveyance services within 100 km distance from the plant and help the employees in getting affordable accommodation.
