Drivers and conductors attached to Alipiri bus depot in Tirupati, on Friday, boycotted duties, demanding reinstatement of an employee, who - according to them - was suspended on flimsy grounds.
The employees, under the aegis of National Mazdoor Union, staged a flash strike in front of Alipiri bus depot manager, to revoke suspension orders served against the bus driver immediately.
They also asked the RTC authorities to suspend the Alipiri depot manager and initiate disciplinary action against him.
Following the strike, RTC has suspended bus operations to faraway places and Tirumala as well, putting passengers and devotees to inconvenience.
Until the government initiates action against the depot manager, employees would not withdraw the strike, they warned.
