Air India on Tuesday filed a petition before the Kerala High Court seeking a directive to restrain casual workers unions from launching direct action, including a strike, at the Calicut international airport starting from March 15.
Air India said the Airline Casual Workers Union (CITU) and the Air India National Aviation Workers Association (INTUC) had threatened to start direct action, including a strike, if their demands were not met. The demands of the unions included regularisation of service, hike in daily wages from Rs.275 to Rs.500, and an increase in the number of days of engagement in a year.
The unions made the threat even as the conciliation proceedings were on before the Assistant Labour Commission.
Recruitment ban
The company said if a direct action was launched, it would affect the day-to-day activities of the petitioner and the travelling public. Besides, the company was undertaking restructuring process in view of the new aviation policy. Air India had also imposed a general ban on recruitment since 1998.
The petitioner also sought a directive to restrain the unions from causing any obstruction to the airline booking office, Calicut International Airport Office and entry and exit of travellers and officers into/from the airport.
