He should have done this 3 years back when economy was slightly better. Now trying to enforce this means companies would go out of business even faster rate. This govt doesn't understand what they are doing.

早在3年前经济稍微好点的时候就应该提高基本工资了。现在执行这一规定意味着公司倒闭的速度会更快。这个政府不明白自己在做什么。

This is very good decision as working class salary stay put for long years and none to battle for them

太好了，工人阶级的工资会长期保持不变，没人为他们而出头

All this revisions are of no use unless there is a strong law for enforcement. In present set up this hike will only make labour contractors more rich. Poor labours would continue to suffer.

除非有强有力的法律来执行，否则调整也没用。在目前的情况下，这种上涨只会让承包商更富有。可怜的劳动者将继续受苦。

Asok Datta

Well well! But where is the job to get this wage? So give jobs first and then think of wage

好是好，工资提高了，但是哪里有工作呢?

先提供工作，然后再考虑工资问题

先生，我们需要创造就业机会。如果提高最低工资，公司就会减少雇员。

这种调整无疑是受欢迎的，但我们也需要了解各邦政府是否有足够的资金来落实这个政策
