The Air India Express Employees Union (AIXEU) has attacked the airline`s management for issuing chargesheets to around 200 cabin crew members who claimed sick during last month`s strike. The union deemed this action unpleasant and unfair labour practice. The union cautioned in a letter to Air India Express CEO Alok Singh on Sunday that such actions could hurt the firm and its passengers. According to union sources, the chargesheets were sent on June 5 and had a 72-hour response deadline, reported PTI.
On May 7, roughly 200 cabin crew members went on strike in protest of alleged mismanagement, resulting in hundreds of aircraft cancellations. In response, the airline terminated the employment of 25 cabin crew workers and told others to return to work or risk similar consequences. The strike ended on May 9 following a conciliatory conference between cabin crew representatives and airline management at Delhi`s Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) office, the report stated.
