Hyderabad: The TSRTC workers unions JAC will not back off from the strike and demanded that the government should call them for talks. TSRTC JAC convener Ashvathama Reddy, S. Babu, President and General Secretary K. Raji Reddy of employees union, Telangana Jaatiya Masduri Union convener Hanumanth Mudiraj said that the government attitude against employees is not correct.

         Government’s allegation that the strike of RTC employees is illegal is a false statement, said the JAC. Removing over 45,000 employees with the stroke of a pen and leaving their families on the road, is that a decision for the welfare of the people or to satisfy one’s ego? Asked one of the employees. On the third day of the RTC employees strike, meanwhile, 11,000 buses, were on the roads, which includes, RTC buses, buses of educational institutions and private buses.
