Internet Celebrity and model Poonam Pandey has openly come out in the
rescue and support of Air India Crew who have not been paid salaries
past 5 months and have decided to go on strike, starting from April 2.
The Interget Girl tweeted , " #WasOnFlight #AirIndia And while
leaving that Crew told me shedding tears, that mam can u get this
Problem of us in Notice #NotPaidSince5Months".
One of the crew members told her that because of non payment since
past 5 months he had to Stop his Sons Tuition Classes.
She further tweeted, "My Heart Bleeds for Air India Crew, who are not
being Paid for past 5 Months... i wonder how are they sustaning
themselves".
Meanwhile, three rounds of talks of Air India Employee Unions with
the management failed today.
As many as seven unions out of the 13
today had three rounds of meetings with the management here, but
management could not give us a written commitment for full payment of
our salaries and performance-linked incentives, which have not been
paid for the past five months," union sources said.
However, Air India management sources say, "All the major Air India
unions, including those of the pilots, met the management this evening
here and we have assured them to clear salaries and performance-linked
incentives of one month next early month; and clear all arrears by May
when the government will infuse money"
It is not clear, whether the efforts of Poonam Pandey ould force
Management to pay the due salaries and prevent the strike, but surely
she did something good for the employees welfare.
Come on Poonam and
strip this time for Air India employees, if they are paid all their
arrears and Salaries.
