Employees of the Public Transport Department (PTD, erstwhile AP State Road Transport Corporation) are growing restive over the “delay in implementation of the 11 th Pay Revision Commission recommendations.”
In a statement on Friday, conveners of the PTD Employees’ Union Joint Action Committee Y. Srinivasa Rao and P. Damodara Rao said merger of the APSRTC with the government had raised hopes of the employees, who had been promised that they would be treated on a par with the government employees.
They said, instead of extending the facilities promised to them, the government had abruptly stopped the Staff Retirement Benefit Scheme (SRBS) that the employees had established for their own welfare.
