Transport Corporation Employees United Front gave notice to MD in support of pending demands
Dehradun. Roadways employees opened a front accusing the management of breaking their promises. Transport Corporation Employees United Front on Monday gave notice to MD Dr. Anand Srivastava and warned of boycott from midnight of 27th September.
The Morcha alleges that despite making promises twice, the management did not take action on even a single demand. Now, if action is not taken till 26th September, an all-out war will be waged. Morcha convenors Ashok Chaudhary, Dinesh Pant, Ravinandan Kumar, Ramkishun Ram jointly told that first on 25th April, then on 24th July, assurance of action was received in talks with the management. Believing this assurance, the employees postponed the decision to agitate. Roadways MD Dr. Anand Srivastava said that action is being taken on all the points agreed upon in the two rounds of talks with the employees. Some topics are technical, decision can be taken only after studying all the aspects. That’s why there is a delay.
