Unions have welcomed the three per cent increase to wages, or around $21 extra dollars per week, which will benefit more than two million workers. But business groups say the rise will impact negatively on small businesses. Kulasegaram Sanchayan reports in Tamil with a feature written by Gloria Kalache and Amelia Dunn.
