RTCs that have been warning employees about continuing with the strike, have started taking actions against trainee employees and are issuing notice for absence from work
Bus services remained largely hit across Karnataka on April 11 too, as strike by employees of the Road Transport Corporations (RTCs) on wage related issues, entered its fifth day. With a stalemate between the government and employees of the four transport corporations in the State, over their demand for wages as per the 6th Pay Commission continuing, majority workers did not turn up for work, resulting in buses remaining off road, affecting commuters. Amid threats of tough action, “no work no pay”, few RTC employees have returned to work and are operating buses on some routes in the city, along with police escort, and similar reports are emerging from few other places in the state, officials said.More Related News
