Maharashtra Transport Minister Anil Parab said that the suspension will be lifted if the MSTRTC employees return to work by Monday, December 13.
The minister held discussions with the representatives of ST workers' unions and officials of ST administration today, December 10.
After the meeting, Parab said, “Many employees want to resume, while some employees say that they are not allowed to resume work. So we have decided to give them a chance. We will withdraw the suspension of the workers who will come to work by Monday.”

“On Monday, suspended workers should also come to work, along with those not suspended. We're giving them a chance so they don't feel like they haven't been given a chance. If the workers are obstructed, they should report to the police station or tell the depot manager. So that they will be provided police protection. However, if the workers do not come to work, even more stern action will be taken,” he added.
He further said that where the depot is more than 50 per cent operational, they will be given jobs in the same depot. But where there will not be as many workers, they will be accommodated in nearby depots. Moreover, strict action could be taken after Monday.
According to reports, more 150 employees were suspended on December 9 as the strike continues for the 43rd day. With this, the number of suspended employees rose to 10,180, while that of sacked daily wage workers rose to 2,029.
