Productivity link incentive:AI panels to start discussion soon

Mumbai: After being in the back-burner for several months, the sensitive issue of incentives in Air India would come to the fore again with four committees set to begin discussions on it soon.
Air India set up four committees headed by Functional Directors last year to review the issue of productivity link incentive (PLI), with the unions, including that of pilots, rejecting a proposal to slash the allowance by half.
"The four Functional Directors, who are heading the committees, will initiate discussions on the PLI issue soon," Air India sources told PTI here.
As part of the discussions, the committees would invite members of unions, representing various section of workers, to elicit their views on various aspects of the issue, they said.
The Committees would also discuss the wage agreements that have been signed with the unions over a period of time, the sources said.
The PLI burden on all employees accounts for almost 50 per cent of the airline's total salary bill of Rs 3,100 crore per annum.
