Technicians Assn oppose NACIL’s move to reduce PLI

Mumbai, August 21: A day after the NACIL management announced a 50 per cent cut in productivity-linked incentive (PLI), a section of its technical staff today said the move was not acceptable to them.

“We have told the management that we will not accept any cut unless revised PLI of certain categories is brought back to the pre-2007 level,” Indian Airlines’ Technicians Association President M S Kulkarni told PTI here.

The PLI of some categories of both employees and officers have already been revised over a period of time, Kulkarni said without giving specifics.

“The money paid to the beneficiaries of the revised PLI should be recovered before reducing it across the board,” he said.

The NACIL Board had yesterday announced a 50 per cent cut in PLI/flying allowance payable to its employees.

National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) is the holding company formed after the merger of Air India and Indian airlines into a single entity. .
