AIESL Engineers and Company Representatives to Reconvene on Salary Issues in July

AIESL's engineers and company representatives are set to meet again on July 24 to discuss long-pending salary issues after a recent conciliation meeting ended without resolution. The next steps, including a potential strike, are contingent on the outcomes of the upcoming talks.

July 24 marks the next crucial date for state-owned AIESL's engineers and company representatives, who will reconvene to address persistent salary issues after an inconclusive conciliation meeting convened by the labour department recently. Sources indicate a potential strike if no progress is made.

The joint forum, representing around 1,700 staff members, has been vocal about long-overdue salary revisions and previously threatened a strike in May. The forum includes aircraft maintenance engineers and allied unions from erstwhile Air India and Indian Airlines, now part of AIESL.

A meeting, chaired by the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), saw no consensus, prompting another session next month. The management has been tasked with engaging union representatives and reporting back before the July meeting. The outcome may determine the possibility of a strike.
