Ongole: The Prakasam region APSRTC Employees Union issued a strike notice to the deputy CME on Tuesday, demanding that the management resolve discrepancies in digital duty charts and other pending issues.
The regional secretary Bezawada Ravi announced that the EU will go on strike on August 20 or any other day after August 20. Explaining the reasons behind the strike call, Ravi and other union leaders said that the management is allotting duties to the staff without considering the concerns and requests from the EU but showing favouritism to NMU and showing the employees on deputation as seniors to the regular employees in the region.
They also demanded that the management arrange another dispensary at Podili for the benefit of employees from the four western area depots, reschedule the services after conducting a fresh survey in Markapuram- Ongole, Giddalur- Ongole, Giddalur- Akiveedu, Chirala- Vijayawada, Ongole- Guntur routes and revise the OT from 2:40 hrs to 4:00 hrs in the Ongole- Chirala route.
They said that their demands also include promotions to artisans as tyre mechanic and blacksmith after conducting the trade test and change the staff who has completed 2 years of service in the dispatch of garages to give chance to others.
They explained that their demands also include converting all sick leaves into commutation leaves, providing conductors in all express services, providing Quantom TIMs in the place of Micromax TIMs and cancelling all ODs being used in the traffic, garage and cargos.
They said that they also demanded the management to approve requests of transfers in the region on seniority and cancel the deputations of regional staff to other regions to address the staff crunch.
About 450 members from the APSRTC EU held a protest in front of the RM office on Tuesday before handing over the strike notice to the deputy CME. Regional president S Polaiah presided over the meeting as the state secretary K Nageswara Rao, zonal president Vaka Ramesh, regional honorary president Kothakota Venkateswarlu, regional working president N Tirumalesh, regional treasurer Ch V Subbarao and others also participated in the protest.
