Coimbatore: Statewide protest on behalf of All Trade Unions operating in the transport sector in front of the bus depot near Sungam, Coimbatore.



As the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Transport Corporations have changed the rules of arbitrary leave, they staged the protest, demanding its withdrawal, adherence to government regulations regarding coronavirus infection, the cancellation of pay for those who are not on leave, and various demands, including the regularization of a proper weekly off and payment date for transportation workers.



Following this, the management continued to make conflicting decisions on the provision of weekend leave and there was no weekend leave if it was taken before and after the first-weekend break.

The management then announced that there would be no weekend if they did not work 48 hours a week or if they took three days off a week in the current report.

Method of payment of salaries on the last days of the month in the Transport Corporation of Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation, Government Express Transport Corporation and Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation - Villupuram. Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation Kumbakonam, Madurai, Tirunelveli, Salem and Coimbatore have introduced the system of payment on the first day of the month. Postponement of payroll date as payroll date is currently adjusted at the discretion of the corporation was mentioned. The protestors condemned and also said it was completely against the law to pay so.



As the government cannot take any policy decisions after the election, the government should withdraw the policy decisions related to the working conditions of the workers. The protestors said no changes should be made until the new government, elected by the people, makes policy decisions.
