TNSTC workers seek full salary

Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation employees, who staged demonstrations in front of bus depots in the district on Friday demanding full salary, gave missed call to the mobile number of their superiors.
A few days ago, TNSTC had obtained an undertaking from the employees stating that the number of days they had not reported to duty because of the government decision to suspend bus services will be considered as leave and deducted from their leave account, said M Velankanni Raj, general secretary of the Coimbatore Government Transport Workers Union. “When we are ready to work though the state government decided to stop the service, why should we take the pay cut?”
The corporation has not followed any of the guidelines on maintenance of attendance of employees, Raj said. “The officials should not consider it as our personal leave. The technical staff had worked for almost a week even after the service was terminated. The government should provide special incentive to the staff, who worked during the lockdown.” tnn
