Air India chief Ashwani Lohani said on Thursday that the airline\u2019s management shares the concerns of its staff and is taking necessary steps to protect their interests, even as its employees\u2019 unions are planning to protest against the government\u2019s disinvestment move. While the government is planning to invite bids for the national carrier next month, its employee unions on Wednesday decided to oppose it, saying there is no clarity regarding salary arrears and pensions. Lohani in a communication to the employees said, \u201cAir India, your very own national carrier, is easily the most well-known Indian brand across the globe.
