Air India unions oppose privatisation bid, demand meeting with govt
Over a dozen unions of Air India Monday came out strongly against the government’s second bid to sell the financially-crippled national carrier, union sources said after a meeting with the airline’s management.
After the budget announcement on Friday, Air India chairman Ashwani Lohani had called a meeting of all the 13 unions of the airline Monday to discuss the privatisation plan.
“The forum of 13 unions have decided to oppose the privatisation move,” a union functionary told PTI over phone from New Delhi after the meeting with the management.
