Pilot unions reject 5% rollback of pay cuts at Air India
NEW DELHI : Air India’s pilot unions, Indian Pilots’ Guild (IPG) and Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), on Thursday rejected a partial roll back of their salary-cuts stating that the unions would be forced to resort to calling in strikes if the issue was not addressed.
“We do not accept this paltry 5% roll back in illegal pay cut and you may advise the concerned to donate this 5% towards funds for building the Parliament or PM CARE,” both unions wrote in a joint letter to the airline’s chairman and managing director Rajiv Bansal.
“If we do not see a timely substantial reduction in this disproportionate pay cut, we will be forced to seek justice through harsher means including Industrial Action,” the letter said.
