There is already a feeling among sections of the Indian journalists that the demand for a better pay check will ultimately go down the drains as the Indian Newspapers Society (owners) are “unlikely to fully implement” the recommendations even if the Centre issued a notification in the official gazette.
However, some of them choose to remain optimistic. Last night as I was chatting with a friend over the phone I could sense that she was still hopeful of the wage board. She said despite the delay the government “will ultimately” have to issue the notification “in the larger interest of the workers and freedom of the press.”
Note this:- Of all the four wage boards, so far, the Majithia wage board taken the longest period (of delay). It has lapsed six months since the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh “gifted the good news” to working journalists on New Year.
So, what is your opinion? Will the Majithia wage board recommendations be implemented? Speak out in the comment box… You can use your real name or anonymous name.

The Indian Express Management is very much serious over the interests of employees.
@amrik, But why is the paper getting just one vote in the opinion poll? To me it looks like THE HINDU and strangely DECCAN HERALD are having good reputation with their staff.
I am optimistic about Majithia WB implementation. I think it will get notified in a month's time.
it won't. the media houses, as usual will manage to exploit journalists
things will definitely changed after implementation of majithia
