A State-level conference of employees working in State-owned transport corporations held at Kothari Bhavan in Kalaburagi on Tuesday passed a set of resolutions, including the government treating transport workers on par with government employees and extending all facilities to them, payment of pending wages and reinstating those who were removed from their jobs during the general strike.
The conference recalled how Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, when they were in the Opposition, supported the 21-day agitation of transport workers and how they assured them of fulfilling the demands of transport workers, if their government came to power in the State.
The conference demanded that the Chief Minister keep his word by fulfilling all the demands that he had supported as the Leader of Opposition during the previous BJP government.
