Hyderabad, Jan 5 (Maxim News): Hyderabad Metro Train employees have called off their strike. The Metro ticketing staff attended duty this morning after being warned by Metro officials that they will be fired from their jobs.
The Management has made it clear that there will be no increase in wages and has promised to give train access to the staff soon.
According to employees, who work as Ticketing and Cash Management Officers (TCMOs) on the red line, they have been reportedly working on a monthly salary of Rs 11,000 for the past five years, without receiving a raise even once. The employees boycotted their duties on Tuesday and sat in protest outside the Ameerpet metro station, demanding an immediate salary hike.
Their demands include a minimum monthly salary of Rs 15,000 to 18,000, annual increments, free travel facility by metro for employees working night shifts, and at least 20 designated leaves apart from regular weekly off days.
Meanwhile, dismissing the protesters’ claims, the HMRL management earlier issued a statement saying that the contract employees were spreading rumors and misinformation out of vested interest and that stern action will be taken against them.
“Their claims are false and their actions are highly against the public interest, which will call for stern action by the HMR management. The management ensures due facilities and benefits are given to staff, however, will be discussing with them to learn more,” they added.
