Mumbai: The top management of Air India has cleared a proposal to rationalise the number of employees’ unions in the company to five from 15, a senior airline official told FE.
The move is expected to bring in efficiencies with respect to addressing human resource-related issues within
the airline and facilitate quicker decision-making.
Under the proposal, Air India will have two unions — first for pilots and second for other workers, such as cabin crew and ticketing staff. Air India Engineering Services (AIESL), a subsidiary of Air India, will be allowed to have two unions and the airline's ground handling unit, Air India Air Transport Services(AIATSL), has been allocated a single union by the management, the official said on the condition of anonymity.
“The proposal has been cleared by the management and the process to make these uniond recognised by the company is on,” the official said.
