Private buses to go ahead with indefinite stir from November 9
Commuters relying on KSRTC services were severely affected on Friday, with bus crew and administrative and workshop staff affiliated to various unions staying away from work, demanding mainly salary hike.
A senior official said no bus operated in Ernakulam district on the day, since employees were peeved that their salary had not been revised during the past 10 years.
Transport Democratic Federation (INTUC) State secretary Aliyar M.I. said employees affiliated to the INTUC and AITUC unions would keep away from work on Saturday as well to register their protest against delay in salary revision. “Trade union leaders had met Transport Minister Antony Raju on October 20 and served strike notice. We planned to go ahead with the strike, since there was no positive response from the Government,” he added.
