The delay in the release of the Government Orders pertaining to the implementation of the 11 th Pay Revision Commission (PRC) recommendations has become a cause of worry for the employees of the Public Transport Department (PTD-APSRTC) .
“The 52,000-odd employees of the public transport sector are growing restive due to the inordinate delay in issue of the promised G.O. We expected the implementation of the new PRC in our May salaries. As the G.O. is taking time, its execution will be delayed further,” says P. Damodara Rao, convenor of the PTD Employees Joint Action Committee (JAC).
The JAC has been insisting that it is imperative to release the G.O. and put to rest the apprehensions of the employees. “Even after being officially declared as government employees, the APSRTC staff and workers have been losing many benefits as the discrepancies in the salaries have not been taken care of yet,” said JAC convenor Y.V. Rao.
