New Delhi: State-owned Air India employees on Friday threatened to resort to agitation accusing the management of overlooking their legitimate rights and delaying payment of wages and other arrears.
As part of their agitation plan, Air India employees would resort to protests by organising rallies and meetings. Although, the Air India unions or employees have not given notice for strike, a joint forum of eight Air India unions representing different sections of staff of the national carrier have indicated that they would soon start wearing black badges, take out silent marches and rallies, hold gate meetings and adopt a `No pay No work’ policy. The unions said the date and time of protest would be decided shortly. Air India pilots had gone on a 58-day long strike over career progression issue from May 7.
“It appears that the management is not serious about all the issues raised by us. It is intentionally and with a motive to create industrial unrest overlooking our legitimate rights and violating all the bilateral agreements,’’ the Joint Action Forum of Unions, Associations, Guilds of Air India, said in a notice to all its members.
