New Delhi/Mumbai June 29: Air India employees today called off their proposed strike tomorrow after the management decided to pay the June salary of lower level staff by July 3.
“There will be no strike tomorrow. The management showed their seriousness over the issue and has decided to pay salaries to about 70 per cent of our workers,” V J Deka, Regional General Secretary of Aviation Industry Employees Guild, told PTI here.
Lower level staff include check-in staff, baggage handlers, security assistants and guards. For the supervisor categories and beyond (Grade 10-25), another round of meeting would be held on July 4.
Earlier on June 13, the management had announced that salary of employees for the month of June would be deferred by 15 days as the airline was facing the liquidity crunch.
