TGEJAC backs TGSRTC strike, urges talks with government

TGEJAC extended support to the TGSRTC strike and urged the Telangana government to hold talks with employees. The committee highlighted unresolved demands, stagnant salaries for six years, and appealed to workers to avoid extreme steps amid rising tensions.

Hyderabad: The Joint Action Committee of Telangana Employees, Gazetted Officers, Teachers, Workers and Pensioners (TGEJAC) had announced its support to the ongoing TGSRTC strike.

The TGEJAC wanted the State government to hold talks with the TGSRTC employees and address their long-pending issues.
It was unfortunate that the salaries of TGSRTC employees have not been increased since last six years. The other demands being made by the employees were also legitimate and wanted the government to address their issues at the earliest, the TGEJAC said in a statement issued here on Friday.
