Air India unions plan to launch agitation

New Delhi: Major Air India unions on Wednesday decided to launch an agitation, which could lead to a strike, to protest delayed payment of wages.
They are also opposed to implementation of recommendations of two parliamentary committees which include separate domestic and international airlines under a single holding company.
“We will launch an agitation and gradually build it up by holding demonstrations and other forms of peaceful protests. A decision on having a strike will be taken by all the 11 unions, including those of pilots and cabin crew,” V.J. Deka, spokesperson of a joint platform of the unions, told PTI here.
He said the unions’ platform, Civil Aviation Joint Action Forum (CAJAF), would meet next week to decide whether or not to go on a strike.
Besides protesting the delay in payment of salaries and “long overdue” wage revision, CAJAF is demanding that several recommendations made by the Parliament’s Committee on Public Undertakings and Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture on Air India, be implemented.
