Hope outgoing Air India mgmt ensures staff arrear payment before Tata handover: IPG

MUMBAI: Indian Pilots Guild (IPG), one of the pilot unions of Air India, has expressed hope that the outgoing management will ensure that the process of settling employees arrears is “righteously” carried out prior to the airline going to the new owner Tata Sons.

In a letter to Air India CMD late Sunday evening, the guild said that it is “optimistic” about making a fresh start with the airline’s new owners, at the same time, urged the current dispensation not to “exploit” the employees as it could potentially lead to mass protest and industrial unrest just as the company changes hands.
