APSRTC Employees’ Union submit memorandums at 27 district Collectorates
The leaders warn that if the State government and RTC management fail to take immediate action to resolve the legitimate issues of the employees, they will be forced to intensify the agitation in a phased manner
The APSRTC Employees’ Union has submitted representations to the Chief Minister in 27 district Collectorates, addressing concerns over the privatization of services under the guise of introducing electric buses. The Joint Action Committee (JAC) conveners, Y. Srinivasa Rao and Palisetty Damodara Rao, submitted the memorandum, which was signed by 42,000 RTC employees.
The JAC expressed dissatisfaction with the minutes circulated via WhatsApp following a joint meeting with the RTC Managing Director and senior officials on July 30, stating that clear assurances were not provided. They have threatened to intensify the agitation if the State government and RTC management fail to address the employees' legitimate issues.
The JAC further announced a series of agitation programs, including a two-day mass relay hunger strike on August 17-18 and a Maha Dharna in front of District Public Transport Officer (DPTO) offices on August 28.
