Truck workers at the International Container Transshipment Terminal at Vallarpadam have threatened to go on an indefinite strike from August 1 demanding, among other things, changes in outdated service rules and conditions, including the bata payments fixed in 2012, said P.V. Ragi, convenor of the Vallarpadam truck workers’ forum here.

He said a meeting convened by the Regional Labour Commissioner to discuss the issue failed to reach a conclusion due to the “adamant stand” taken by truck owners, as alleged by the workers. Following which, truck workers held a meeting on Friday to issue a public warning on the indefinite strike.
