Air India employees consider strike option to stall privatisation
Mumbai/New Delhi: Fed up with the uncertainty over their own future tagged with the fate of Air India, airline employees are in the process to deciding to either take the NCLT route to recover their dues or declare a general strike to put pressure on the government from privatising the national carrier.
The two options were arrived after all the recognised AI unions and other employee bodies met in Mumbai.
However, a final course of action will be decided after further discussion and is expected soon. If the strike option is chosen, then it will be initiated from January 8, 2020.
The decision to consider either the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) route or the strike comes days after the airline’s pilots and engineers demanded immediate payment of their dues.
