Salary row: KSRTC staff to go on indefinite strike from today

Thiruvananthapuram: Protesting against the non-distribution of salary, a group KSRTC employees under CITU and INTUC unions will go on an indefinite strike from Monday. The unions declared that the employees will continue to observe the strike until they receive their salary.

It is learnt that the services will not be affected.

Meanwhile, BMS will start an indefinite dharna in front of the secretariat and KSRTC district headquarters on Tuesday.

On Monday, Opposition leader VD Satheesan will inaugurate the strike of INTUC backed drivers’ union TDF.

The employees are disappointed as KSRTC didn’t distribute their salary  even after collecting a monthly revenue of Rs 193 cr in May. During a meeting summoned to discuss duty reshuffle on Friday, KSRTC management also confirmed that salary distribution will be delayed. Following this, the labour unions boycotted the meeting after declaring that the duty reshuffle will be discussed only after receiving the salary.
