The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) employees went on indefinite strike in Hyderabad on October 05. Their protest is over demand for the merger of TSRTC with the government. Around 54, 000 TSRTC employees are doing indefinite strike from today. The development comes after talks between the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of TSRTC employees and a government panel for third successive day yielded no results. Nearly 10 employee unions comprising TSRTC Staff and Workers Federation, RTC Telangana Mazdoor Union (TMU), TSRTC National Mazdoor Union and TSRTC Employees Union have decided to observe the strike. The unions claim to represent nearly one lakh employees, half of which work on a contract basis.
