The Planters’ Association of Ceylon (PA) has expressed its intention to establish a sustainable wage model to create an entrepreneurial mindset among plantation workers.
“By sustainability, we mean nothing less than a radical shift in the way that wages are paid in order to provide significantly stronger incentives and create an entrepreneurial mindset among workers. Such an alternative model must be linked to productivity in a similar manner to what has been implemented and operating in the smallholders for decades,” newly appointed PA Chairman Bathiya Bulumulla said.
He made these comments after being inducted Chairman at the 166th annual general meeting (AGM) of the Association held on Friday (17) at the BMICH. He said that such a model was long overdue.
“In that context, we wish to unequivocally state that it is long past time that we implement a sustainable wage model if we are to take this prestigious 150-year-old industry towards a brighter future.”
He added that the plantation companies should start working towards an alternative wage model that will benefit the plantation workers and sustain the industry for generations to come, and requested for everyone’s support in implementing such a model.Planters’ Association keen on sustainable wage model
