MUMBAI: With an uncertain future staring at over 22,000 employees of the grounded Jet Airways, bank unions on Monday suggested offering special loans to them to tide over RPT over the financial criss arising from non- payment of salaries.
Last week bank unions had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding the government take over the carrier to secure the jobs of its employees.
In a letter to the Indian Banks Association, the union requested the banking lobby to “ask member banks to device a special loan scheme to the Jet staff to help them tide over their present financial problems.”
The unions also suggested banks can extend special and exclusive loans to the airline to pay the salary dues or some subsistence payments to them against proper collateral.
