Loco pilots, workshop employees list demands

STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Members of the South Western Railway (SWR) branch of the All-India Loco Running Staff Association (AILRSA) staged a protest here on Wednesday to press for their demands.

Gathering outside the office of the General Manager of SWR, they sought implementation of suggestions made by the Railway Board at the meeting on SPAD (Signal Passed at Danger) held in New Delhi on June 12.

They sought implementation of some of the prominent suggestions made at the meeting, such as limiting working hours of mail/express train crew to six hours; reduction of continuous night duties; revision of crew link; change of crew at divisional jurisdiction; preparation time of two hours at headquarters and outstations; and calendar day rest (40 hours).
