AI pilot unions reject 5% rollback of pay cuts
Air India’s pilot unions, Indian Pilots’ Guild (IPG) and Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), on Thursday rejected the offer of a partial roll-back of their salary cuts and threatened to go on a strike if the issue was not resolved.
“We do not accept this paltry 5% roll back in illegal pay cut and you may advise the concerned to donate this 5% towards funds for building the Parliament or PM CARE(S Fund),” the unions wrote in a joint letter to the airline’s chairman and managing director Rajiv Bansal.
“If we do not see a timely substantial reduction in this disproportionate pay cut, we will be forced to seek justice through harsher means including industrial action,” it added. A copy of the letter dated December 24 was reviewed by Mint.
