NACIL unions seek restoration of ACEU, AIAEA

Mumbai: As many as nine trade unions of the National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL), which runs Air India, have made a fervent appeal to the management seeking a review of its derecognition of two trade unions done last month.
The unions, in a joint representation, have also sought reinstatement of all sacked/suspended employees by the management, following a strike by the two unions last month.
The appeal comes a month after the NACIL management cracked the whip on Air Corporation Employees Union (ACEU) and All India Aircraft Engineers Association (AIAEA) by derecognising and sacking their top leadership after they struck work to protest a 'gag order' barring them from airing their grievances before the media.
ACEU and AIAEA together had over 11,000 members under their banner of the total of around 30,000 workforce in NACIL.
"Subsequent to our verbal appeal, we all once again appeal to you to kindly review the termination letters issued to leaders/members of Air Corporation Employees Union and All India Aircraft Engineers Association," the joint representation signed by the nine NACIL unions and addressed to its Chairman and Managing Director, Arvind Jadhav, said.
They have also appealed to the management to withdraw its derecognition of the unions, saying that "this will introduce their rights as available under the Trade Union Act."
