Mumbai: Air India engg subsidiary staffers stage ‘sit-in’ protest
Mumbai: Staffers from Air India’s wholly owned engineering subsidiary went on an impromptu ‘sit-in agitation’ on Thursday afternoon in protest against their company’s move to set aside 20 % of their gross salary towards payment of statutory dues.
The protest by Air India Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL) engineers didn’t affect Air India flights as engineers in top and middle management stepped in, said sources.
Combined with the allowance cut imposed last year, the total wage cut for an AIESL engineer currently stands at 35-42 % of gross salary, said AI unions in a joint letter sent to the CEO of AIESL on Wednesday. The engineers said that they were shocked to find out that in April 2019, AIESL stopped depositing the PF amount deducted from their salaries into PF Trust. —Manju V
