Karnataka transport workers warn of strike from March 15 if demands not met

In the latest addition to the warnings sent over the last one month reminding the government about their nine demands, including salary hike, workers of four road transport corporations on Tuesday said they will launch a strike from March 15 if the demands are not met.

Leaders of employees from four RTCs held a convention at the Race Course Road-Sheshadri Road junction near Anandrao Circle on Tuesday to discuss the next course of action.

The Karnataka State Road Transport Employees League, an association of workers had come together to halt bus services for four days in December.

The workers warned that if the government fails to keep its word, it would push them to abandon all the demands and stick to their original stance that they should be made government employees.

The strike in December ended after the government promised to fulfill eight demands and consider the demand for implementing the 6th Pay Commission wages within a span of "three months".
