Mumbai: The union of Air India Cabin Crew, who have allegedly not been paid flying allowances since last October, said it was not planning any strike but cannot be blamed if individual members chose to skip work.
A senior official of Air India Cabin Crew Association said they met the Regional Labour Commissioner ( RLC) and apprised him of the "mental trauma" the members had been facing as they had "not been paid flying allowances for the past six months".
"How can we force someone if he or she has to make some immediate monetary arrangements?" the official said. However, he reiterated that the association was not planning any industrial action, but wanted the management to know the members' plight and make immediate payments.
He also termed the reports in a section of the media that some cabin crew who fly on international routes would not be reporting for duty beginning midnight, as "rumour-mongering".
