railway unions launched a social media campaign on Thursday demanding productivity-linked bonuses based on the Seventh Pay Commission instead of the sixth. IREF had written to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw a fortnight ago in support of its demand, but its office-bearers said they didn't receive any response from the government.
Hence to press for their demand, the railway unions launched a social media campaign on X from Thursday.
During the countrywide lockdown forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, people were afraid to step out of their homes but the railway employees successfully operated trains and registered a sharp increase in earnings as is evident in the quarterly bulletin of Indian Railways, they said.
Indian Railway Signal & Telecommunication Maintainers Union and All India Railway Track Maintainers Union among others have supported the move.
According to government norms, railway employees should get a productivity-linked bonus equal to 78 days' salary, they said.
