Railway union considering strike

Staff Reporter

VISAKHAPATNAM: The All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) has been contemplating to go on strike in protest against the attitude of the Central Government in addressing the problems of railway employees, AIRF assistant general secretary and a member of Joint Consultative Machinery, Chalasani Gandhi has said.

Though the Railway Minister had recommended a 61-day productivity-linked bonus, the Finance Minister announced only for 59 days, he said.

In protest, the JCM meeting scheduled for October 3 and 4 was boycotted.

Further decision on the strike would be taken at the AIRF convention to be held from November 16 to 18 at Mumbai, he added.
