A wage revision for the employees of the loss-making Hotel Corporation of India (HCI), an Air India subsidiary, has not been possible in view of the company's losses, Civil Aviation Ministry has said.
"I have had the matter examined and would like to apprise you that in view of the losses being incurred by the company (HCI) for the last several years, it has not been possible for the management to implement wage revision," Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said in a letter.
He wrote the letter in response to a communication from Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptullah, who was approached by Centaur Hotel Employees Union president Javed Pandit for her intervention in this regard.
The Minister said since HCI was a loss-making entity for last several years, the Central Public Sector Enterprise and Department of Public Enterprises guidelines do not allow a wage revision.
Raju said the HCI units were continuously making losses for the last many years including the preceding three years, and added that these were "also not in a position to generate own resources" for meeting the funds required for implementing the wage revision for unionised category of employees.
