Mumbai airport left stinking as 1,900 housekeeping workers go on 18-hour strike

Mumbai: More than 1,900 housekeeping workers at the airport went on an 18-hour flash-strike from last night, demanding increase in wages, which impacted passenger amenities at both the domestic and international terminals.

Over 1,900 workers at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) started the strike from 2000 hrs last evening and resumed duties at 1400 hrs today, one of the union members said today.
"They have not increased our payments for the last eight years in spite of repeated pleas from our side to do so," said an employee, who is affiliated to the Shiv Sena's union wing Bhartiya Kamgar Sena.
The airport spokesman confirmed that there was a strike but declined details.
