Eight major transport unions in Tamil Nadu consisting of nearly 1 lakh workers have called for an indefinite strike demanding revision of wages and clearance of their former dues in the state. The strike comes after several rounds of inconclusive talks with the transport department of the state.

The strike has been called by Labour Progressive Federation (LPF), Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), and All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), as reported by Times Now.

Nearly 80 per cent of the government buses will cease services from today in the state, affecting hundreds of commuters who depend on state-based buses to travel.
