Mumbai: Air India will see fresh round of agitation by employees as Aviation Industry Employees Guild, the union which represents close to 8,000 employees, has threatened to go on strike from January 14 in protest against the delay in payment of salaries.
Employees of the national carrier have not been paid salaries for the last two months. The union has served a notice on the chief labour commissioner, seeking to start the strike if the Air India management is not ready to pay salaries on time.
"If the management can strictly implement 'no work, no pay' principle then in all fairness we should be entitled to adopt 'no pay, no work'. We ask all our employees to be in readiness for any form of agitation including strike to press for payment," said the notice which was reviewed by ET.
The airline has also not paid sustenance allowance and productivity-linked incentives, to employees for five months. Cabin crew, who get 70% of their salaries in the form of sustenance allowance, is struggling to survive as they travel frequently to international destinations.
