RTC Unions Express Opposition to Proposal for Transitioning Electric Buses to Private Operators

Unions are raising concerns over the leasing of prime lands owned by depots to private entities, alleging that such actions may undermine the interests of the corporation and its employees. In response to these grievances, union representatives have announced plans to establish a Joint Action Committee (JAC). This committee aims to mobilize efforts and initiate an agitation to address various issues impacting the organization and its workforce.

The unions argue that the leasing of these valuable lands could lead to potential job losses and erosion of public services. They believe that these actions prioritize private interests over the welfare of the employees and the community. The proposed JAC will work to rally support from employees and stakeholders, bringing greater attention to their demands for equitable treatment and accountability within the corporation.

Further discussions and strategies are expected to evolve in the coming weeks as the unions prepare for planned demonstrations and negotiations with corporate leadership.
