Uttarakhand Roadways employees have demanded payment of their pending August and September salaries and bonus by 2 November, ahead of the Diwali festival period. The Uttarakhand Roadways Employees Joint Council has warned of a work boycott and agitation if the deadline is missed.

The council sent a notice to the Divisional Manager (Operations) in Dehradun. The letter was issued by regional minister Dinesh Sati on behalf of the organisation.

Employees cite financial pressure

According to the council, employees have not received their salaries for August and September. Workers say the delay has caused financial and mental distress.

The organisation said employees urgently need funds because Dhanteras, Diwali and Bhai Dooj fall in November. It has therefore asked the transport corporation’s management to release the remaining salary dues for both months along with the bonus before 2 November.

The notice sets out a proposed escalation if the demand is not met. The council said employees would be compelled to begin a work boycott and agitation from 3 November.

The warning is a demand and proposed course of action by the employees’ organisation. The material does not state that a work boycott has already begun or that the pending payments have been released.

Conclusion

The Uttarakhand Roadways Employees Joint Council wants the corporation to clear August and September salary dues and bonus by 2 November. It has warned of a work boycott and agitation from 3 November if the demand is not fulfilled.
