Mumbai: Six years after the merger of Air India and Indian Airlines, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday began hearing petitions filed by eight employee associations of the state carrier.
These pertain to implementation of the Dharmadhikari Committee Report on human resources integration. Simply put, this refers to a host of issues related to seniority, performance-linked incentive and salary package.
The panel had recommended measures to bring greater parity among the 27,000 employees of the merged entity, Air India.
The first petition to be examined was the one filed by the airline pilots guild. Advocate Rafiq Dada said AI pilots were being paid 25 per cent less post-merger. Moreover, he argued, if the Dharmadhikari report is implemented, the overall wages would further reduce with a fall in working hours.
