Jet
Airways, facing some headwinds on the labour front, has given a wage hike of up
to Rs.18,000 to its around 7,500 ground staff, sources said on Wednesday.
The decision comes amidst reports of its pilots meeting in Delhi
on Friday to discuss wage hike and long-pending arrear issues with the
management.
The Naresh Goyal-promoted airline, which is on the verge of
closing a stake sale deal with Etihad, had already signed a tripartite
agreement with one of its employees unions, the All India Jet Airways Officers
Association, they said.
“The salary hike, which is effective retrospectively from April,
2011, is in the range of Rs.10,500-18,000 a month across categories,” a union
leader told PTI here.
The wage agreement is expected to benefit around 7,500 ground
employees that include reservation staff, cargo, cabin and ground service.
The settlement with the management was reached after intense
negotiations over 20 months, sources said, adding that, “it will be effective
till March next year (2014).”
