TSRTC employees protest privatisation, farm laws

Description

Hyderabad: Employees of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) staged protests at various bus depots on Monday demanding the Centre to stop privatisation of public sector enterprises, repeal agricultural and electricity laws and stop allocating public money to corporates. The TSRTC employees have joined the protest after several central trade unions offered their support for the strike called by bank employees’ unions beginning Monday, and the one called by employees of life insurance companies on Wednesday. “Privatising public sector enterprises will not only cost lakhs of employees their jobs but also hamper services provided to the common man. We also demand that the three farm laws and Electricity Bill be repealed,” said Raji Reddy, general secretary of the Employee Union of TSRTC.
