PUNE: Ravindra Sanap (name changed on request), a driver with the MSRTC participating in the ongoing strike, used to get a monthly salary of around Rs14,000.
“It is disheartening to know that the temporary drivers the MSRTC recently hired are getting a monthly payment of almost Rs25,000, without proper driving skills. How can homes be run with just Rs14,000? If MSRTC can afford to pay those temporary drivers such a large amount, what is the harm in using the same money and raising our salaries as per other state government employees? The ongoing agitation is for the same reason and it will continue,” he said.
