Trivandrum airport casual workers union to observe token protest
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : The confederation of Trivandrum Airport Casual Workers Trade Unions has decided to boycottall ground handling operations in the International Airport here on July 1 and 2 as a token protest against the “termination” of at least 120 casual staff.
The Confederation,a joint forum of all trade unions operating in Trivandrum International Airport, has jointly decided to protest against the “termination” of ground staff in Trivandrum International Airport employed with Air India SATS Airport Service Pvt Ltd.
“We are aggrieved to observe that the action taken by Air India SATS management on termination of workers will add to the trouble faced by workers and hence unacceptable to us.
If SATS management is facing any crisis erupted due to pandemic COVID-19, they can approach the joint forum anytime and discuss the same and can settle the matter rather than terminating the workers,” S Vijay Mohan, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) Airport union President, told PTI.
