The employees’ unions in the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) have decided to intensify the protest after the public utility failed to disburse their salaries before Vishu. The employees’ outfits owing allegiance to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) will strike work on April 28, while the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC)-affiliated Transport Democratic Federation (TDF) called for a strike on May 6 by boycotting duties.
