The high court on Monday told the BEST workers' union to take a decision on withdrawing their strike and report to the court by Wednesday morning. The strike enters the ninth day today. The high court-appointed committee that submitted its report, recommended immediate withdrawal of the strike, a time-bound, 10-point increment in salary starting February, no retrenchment and the start of negotiations for a new agreement.
