New Delhi: Talks between agitating Air India pilots, the management and the labour department failed to make any headway today, with the Chief Labour Commissioner (CLC) coming down heavily on the airline officials for not submitting any proposal on a pay structure despite directions.
In the last round of talks on March 15, the CLC had asked the Air India management to come up with a proposal on a fixed pay component, which was being demanded by the Indian Commercial Pilots Association. "The meeting could not make any headway as the airline officials did not come with the proposal on the interim fixed pay component, as was being demanded by us," ICPA General Secretary Rishabh Kapur told PTI. "It reflects the management's true intentions, that after almost 50 days of a strike notice, they haven't made any headway on our demands," he said. When CLC N K Prasad sought to know as to why the management had failed to bring any proposal, Director (Industrial Relations) Vineeta Bhandari said they could not do so as the Director (Finance) was indisposed, ICPA leaders present at the meeting said. They claimed the CLC also described the management's alibi as a "lame excuse" and asked the management to prepare and submit the proposal in 48 working hours.
He directed the parties to hold the next round of conciliation proceedings on April 25.
