APPTD Union to Stage Statewide Protests Over Employee Grievances
Imagine a big bus company where the people who drive the buses and fix them (the employees) are upset.
They haven't gotten things like promotions or money they're owed.
So, they're planning to show they're unhappy by protesting on July 4th and 5th.
They want the government to fix these problems, like giving out promotions to 3,000 employees, hiring 10,000 more people, and paying the money they are owed.
They also want help with medical care when they retire.
APPTD employees plan statewide protests on July 4th and 5th.
Protests are against the government and RTC management's inaction on employee issues.
Union demands include promotions, new staff recruitment, and release of arrears.
The union seeks approval for 3,000 employee promotions and 10,000 new hires.
Key demands also include retirement benefits and the implementation of the Retired Employees Medical Scheme.
