He said, “The private players would change the operations of the existing system of railways. In some time, there will be no railway employees working in stations other than the contract labourers.” The SRMU zonal president also demanded a minimum grade pay under seventh pay commission to be increased to Rs 18,000. Raja Sridhar urged the government to implement an old pension scheme by shunning the new pension scheme. “The union would plan for a protest if the government fails to initiate our demands,” he added.
