Vasco: Cargo loaders of Indigo Airlines on Monday went on a flash strike at the Dabolim international airport demanding an increase in wages causing inconvenience to passengers flying Indigo flights. Flights were not affected.
After futile attempts to break the deadlock through discussion, Indigo airline officials immediately got the help of contractors to surmount the issue. Indigo is the biggest operator in Goa with 16 arrivals and 16 departures per day.
Around 107 loaders of Indigo airlines which operate the maximum number of domestic flights to Dabolim airport, were upset over the treatment meted out to them. The loaders told mediapersons that, on Monday morning they went to visit the contractor with a request letter to hike their salaries. Instead of accepting the letter and giving any verbal assurance, the officers tore the letter in front of them, the striking workers alleged. The loaders had initially given the airline 10 days to increase their salaries but, infuriated by the officer's actions, the agitated loaders immediately decided to start their strike.
