It may be recalled the RTC employees JAC has decided to start an indefinite strike from February 6 if the RTC management and the state government fail to concede their demands, particularly the pay revision.

The RTC employees are asking for the 50 per cent hike in the pay while the RTC management agreed to give 20 per cent hike. In this backdrop, the employees JAC convened a meeting at 11 am at the MBVK Bhavan on February 4.

P Damodara Rao, convener of the APSRTC employees JAC, said on Sunday that the meeting would discuss important subjects like pay revision and added that talks held several times with the management had proved futile.
