An association of engineers of Railway today accused two national-level unions of not supporting their demands for higher salaries and better grade.
West Central Railway Engineers Association (WCREA) slammed All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) and National Federation of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR) for not taking up their issues with the Government.
"It is disappointing that the two federations are not taking up our issues with the Railway Board in a meeting scheduled for tomorrow," V K Badghaiyan, Organising Secretary General of All India Railway Engineers Federation (AIREF) to which WCREA is affiliated, told PTI today.
He said 80,000 Railway engineers were getting a very low wage and being deprived of better grades since a long time.
WCREA Divisional President Pradeep Bhargava and Divisional Secretary AK Sharma, in a statement, said Railway engineers were getting poor salaries.
"Our two-day protest to press for our demands is underway at Jantar Mantar in Delhi since yesterday," they said, the association will intensify their stir if the demands are not met.
