BEST bus service resume, workers’ union agree to 10-step increment

On Tuesday, the Bombay High Court had directed the workers’ union to take a final decision on the withdrawal of their strike.
This direction came after BEST management told the court that it was willing to implement the interim pay-hike for about 15,000 employees, PTI reported.
