Deccan Chronicle  

Thanjavur: A section of Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation employees struck work in Thanjavur and in neighbouring Tiruchirapalli a day ahead of the state-wide stir call by the transport corporations. As many as 120 government buses and 56 mofussil buses in Thanjavur were not operated after some bus drivers decided to go on strike following reported failure of talks with the state government over their demands, department officials said. As the transport unions and the government failed to reach a settlement over wage revision in Tamil Nadu, Labour Progressive Federation secretary M Shanmugam on Saturday said that they will go with the proposed indefinite strike in the state from May 15. While the government insisted on dropping the strike, the union leaders demanded a permanent solution for addressing the issues related to payment of pension amount due to the employees.
