New Delhi: In a bid to drastically cut down the number of recognised unions in the airline to two from the current 15, Air India has appointed a four-member committee headed by former labour secretary Krishna Mohan Sahni to hold fresh elections by July this year.
Besides Sahni, other members of the committee include Raja Sridhar, executive board member, International Transport Workers’ Federation, retired chief labour commissioner S K Mukhopadhya and Ajit Nigam (advisor, HR, Ircon International).
A senior executive in Air India said, “We are looking at rationalising the number of unions to facilitate efficient decision-making during negotiations between union representatives and the management. The panel has been tasked to determine which unions will be eligible to contest the elections; mark out the constituencies and finalise the procedures.” Once the modalities are in place, elections would be held for 21,000 employees, latest by July this year.
