Mumbai/New Delhi: Air India management has called the agitating employees for talks on Thursday over the issue of non payment of salary.
Spelling fresh trouble for crisis-ridden Air India, 8 unions representing a large chunk of the over 28,000 staff, on Wednesday threatened to go on strike from Monday to protest delay in salary payments and sought Prime Minister's immediate intervention to resolve the situation.
The agitators have alleged that they have not been paid salaries and allowances for over past three months.
Yesterday Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh tried to soothe ruffled feathers of the protesters saying the government has "stood by them" before and would continue to do so.
The eight major unions, representing a cross-section of staffers ranging from pilots, engineers to ground staff, wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying they would implement 'No pay no work' policy from April 2 as the management was "withholding" their "legitimate wages".
