Mumbai: Railway unions will externally support the strike called by state government employees from March 14 seeking scrapping of the National Pension Scheme (NPS) and restoring the Old Pension Scheme (OPS).
The railway unions will also organise a pan-India rally on the issue on March 21. They had carried out an online petition and collected over 1.26 crore signatures from the current and retired railway employees along with their families from February 10 to 20.
Railway unions said the NPS is proving to be disastrous to employees and their families. “Employees are contributing 10% of their salaries each month for the pension fund.
