Eight employees' unions of Air India on Friday requested Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri to ask the airline to roll back its COVID-19 lockdown-triggered decision to cut 10 per cent pay of its employees.
Air India rased the demand, while commending the IndiGo's decision on Thursday to roll back pay cuts, which were announced last month for senior staff members, for the month of April in deference to the government's wishes.
The joint letter by eight AI employees' unions to Puri on Friday stated, "We request you to countermand Air India committee's decision on COVID-19 pay cut which is against the government's directives and also treat us at par with other PSUs (public sector units) during the lockdown."
