MUMBAI: Even as now grounded Jet Airways completes its 26th anniversary, Shiv Sena affiliated Bharatiya Kamgar Sena has threatened industrial action at the Mumbai airport if the airline’s employees are not paid their due salaries.
According to the union, the financial plight of Jet’s employees has forced it to stage a protest at the Mumbai airport starting Monday.
“Please note that looking at the woos of Jet Airways employees, our members employed at Mumbai airport are extremely agitated and if no justice done to these employees, may resort to industrial action on their own accord and will lead to adverse impact on the aviation industry,” said Suryakant Mahadik, President of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena, in a letter to the senior Union Ministers.
Currently, the airline’s employees, lessors and vendors face daunting financial challenges due to non-payment of salaries and dues.
