The cabin crew of Air India has told the management that the compulsory
leave scheme is a smokescreen for retrenchment by the backdoor and has
demanded that it be kept in abeyance.
The All India Cabin Crew
Association in a letter to Air India management said that AICCA records
its strong protest at this circular and fears that this compulsory leave
scheme is a smokescreen for a retrenchment/layoff scheme by the back
door and is in gross violation of various Supreme Court orders,
including the Constitutional bench judgment on Section 25, and infringes
on the Air India SC case on hand.
"We note with great concern
that the said circular purports to send employees on Compulsory Leave
without Pay, by the CMD, as recommended by the RD & regional
officials. This is highly arbitrary & subjective and is a violation
of the Certified Standing Orders (Amended) of erstwhile Air India, as
applicable to us," the cabin crew members said.
"Respectfully, we
must also note that the circular & the board resolution itself are
illegal as they violate the CSO, 9A of the ID Act and most importantly
infringe on a matter that is being heard by the Hon Supreme Court of
India, where we are a party. The larger bench of the Apex court is
hearing the matter of Service Conditions, Standing Orders & 9A, and
this circular violates that and brings in alien concepts of
redundancies, merely to skirt existing retrenchment laws," the letter
said.
"We find it shocking that our Airline seeks to arbitrarily
retrench the very Corona Warriors who have been flying Vande Bharat
Missions, at great risk to themselves and many have contracted COVID,"
the association said and has asked Air India CMD to keep the said
circular in abeyance and engage in constructive dialogue with the AICCA
on this subject.
