The BEST Workers Union has called for an indefinite bus strike in Mumbai from October 9 and has slapped a notice on the BEST management.

Union leader Shashank Sharad Rao said, "The BEST had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with us in June wherein they had agreed that the wage issues, too, would be looked into. Hence, they were allowed to go ahead with decisions like wet-leasing buses, etc, and we even withdrew our case in court.However, our demands of wage revision and so on are still pending and the management has turned a blind eye to our issues."
