March 10, 2021

Bengaluru: Accusing the Government of failing to meet its promise of fulfillment of their demands, staff of all the four State Transport Corporations — KSRTC, BMTC, NWKRTC and NEKRTC — have warned the Government that they will be forced to go on an indefinite strike from Mar.16 if their demands are not met by then.

The nine-point charter of demands chiefly include implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, consideration of transport employees as Government servants, payment of Rs. 30 lakh compensation to transport employees who died while on duty during COVID-19 crisis and payment of full monthly wages in time among others.

The staff of all the four State-run Transport Corporations had staged a snap stir for four days in December last and the Government had assured to meet their demands within three months. 

But the KSRTC unions which met in the State capital on Tuesday, charged the Government of failing to honour its assurance. The meeting set Mar.15 deadline for the Government to address their problems and warned that the staff of the Transport Corporations will launch an indefinite stir from Mar.16, if the demands are not met.

The meeting was attended by Transport Employees Association Hon. President Kodihalli Chandrashekar, General Secretary Anand and others.
