MUMBAI: The strike by the Western India Motion Picture and TV Sound Engineers Association lasted barely a few hours. Enough to disrupt a full day's shoot. According to the sound recordists head BN Tiwari, the FWICE heard their demands and accepted a revision in the wages. "As compared to the Rs 40,000 a month (Rs 37,000 pay and Rs 3000 conveyance) which had been settled on yesterday, we have got the figure up to Rs 48,000 a month (Rs 45,000+Rs 3,000)," he said.

According to the terms agreed, the shift will be from 9 am to 9 pm.

For assistants (boomman), the monthly wages have been fixed at Rs 18,000 (Rs 3,000 conveyance extra). The wages for freelance sound recordists have been fixed at Rs 3,000 a day (no conveyance) and for assistants Rs 1,000 a day.

Tiwari says there is no acrimony between producers and the workers. "We have always worked together and we will continue to work together in a spirit of harmony."
