The EU earlier held two rounds of talks with the management under the aegis of deputy labour commissioner. While the Rtc regional manager maintains that he cannot take any decison on wages, the EU claims that the regianl manager is not taking any decison which is under his purview.If the EU, the majority union, goes on strike, about 45 percent of bus services would be paralysed in the district.
