Accusing the State government of not fulfilling its demands, the KSRTC Employees League, on Tuesday, announced that employees of the road transport corporations (RTCs) will go on an indefinite strike from April 7.
In a letter addressed to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, the League has accused the government of adopting delaying tactics on enhancing salaries to the employees as per the recommendation of the 6th Pay Commission. The letter states that when employees went on four days’ strike from December 11 to 14, 2020, the government had given a written assurance about fulfilling nine demands, including increasing salaries of the employees within three months, but failed.
