The government should halt Air India’s “abominable” compulsory leave without pay scheme as it is not voluntary and “illegal”, six employee unions of the airline wrote to Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Monday.
Air India issued an internal order on July 14 asking its departmental heads and regional directors to identify employees, based on various factors like efficiency, health and redundancy, who will be sent on compulsory LWP for up to five years.
