Railway employees stage demo

CHENNAI: Southern Railway employees, owing allegiance to Southern Railway Mazdoor Union, staged a demonstration in front of the General Manager’s office here on Friday protesting against the recommendations of the Central government’s Sixth Pay Commission.

Addressing the employees, N. Kanniah of the All India Railwaymen’s Federation charged that the pay commission had done “injustice” to employees in the lower category. Its claim that the employees would get 40 per cent increase in their salary was a myth. Only Group-One officers would get 40 per cent increase, while Group-C and Group-D employees would get only 20 per cent increase.
