The Central Government has implemented the new pension scheme since 2004. However, retired employees have been hit the most by this scheme. The central government had promised the employees that a few lakh rupees would be recovered in lump sum, however, this has failed.
Therefore, the employees have started a hunger strike demanding the Central Government to immediately re-implement the old pension scheme. Railway employees also protested at CSMT on Thursday.
The old pension scheme of the employees was closed and a new scheme was implemented. Therefore, railway employee unions have become aggressive. Central Railway Mazdoor Union is on hunger strike for the last four days to start the old pension scheme. The organisation adopted an aggressive stance on the last day of the fast.
