Unpaid Kingfisher Airlines staff approach Labour Commissioner

Mumbai: The harried employees of defunct Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) have approached the office of Regional Labour Commissioner (RLC) in New Delhi, seeking its intervention over non-payment of salary dues.
In a related development, the airline management failed to attend a meeting called by the RLC on the issue.
Over 2,000 employees, not been paid for the last 18 months, had earlier been represented through Trade Union Coordination Centre at the RLC which had called KFA Chairman Vijay Mallya for a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
"Since Mallya or any of his management team executive did not turn up for the meeting, we were advised to approach the RLC directly so that conciliatory proceedings under the Industrial Dispute Act can take place," Kingfisher employee Anjan Kumar Deveshwar, who along with four other colleagues has petitioned the Labour Ministry, said.
