Air India has offered to compensate employees affected by the government’s decision to evict employees from staff colonies in Delhi and Mumbai.
Employee unions have moved the Bombay High Court to challenge the proposed eviction of personnel from staff colonies in Mumbai.
The unions argue that the airline’s letter asking employees to vacate office accommodation by July 26 amounts to a change in service terms. This, they said, is a violation of the Industrial Disputes Act.
The company has offered reimbursement of expenses such as movement of household goods within 100 kilometers, brokerage for rent of up to one month with a maximum limit of Rs 30,000,
