Coimbatore: Transport workers, under the umbrella of the government transport union, have launched an indefinite strike starting yesterday. This action comes after the failure of negotiations with the government, where they emphasized seven key demands. As a part of this protest, members of the Anna Trade Union Federation and CIT Trade Union Federation gathered in front of the Gandhipuram bus station in Coimbatore today, raising slogans and participating in demonstrations to press for their demands. The protest caused significant disruption and drew considerable attention in the area.
The demands of the transport workers include various welfare measures and improvements in their working conditions.
