Summary of Reason for Strike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The AIAME Union vide their letter No. AIAMEU\/2024\/08 dated 08.04.2024 has submitted a strike notice which inter-alia contains the following charter of demands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Promotion: <\/strong>The union alleged that even after about 7 years of joining, no company has awarded promotions, which has led to this frustration and demoralization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. New Service Level Agreement:<\/strong> According to the union, the service level agreement is discriminatory, and there is a disparity in notice period and benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Revised salary for technicians who have completed 2-3 years of service:<\/strong> It was promised that the salary of technicians who have completed 2-3 years of Service would be revised. However, the technicians are still awaiting overdue salary revisions, which is unjust and unethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Uniform discrimination:<\/strong> Unilateral changes to uniform policies without prior consultation for consent demonstrate a lack of transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Mendacious promises from the Management: <\/strong>During the last strike, it was discussed in front of ALC that management would establish a committee and help to address issues related to the FTE rule, Basic Salary revision, Career Progression Scheme, the inclusion of DA in salary, etc. within a period of 90 days. But the promise also turned out to be mendacious and showed the management’s lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusive Interview with AIAMEU Secretary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I asked Prashant Kumar about his take on a settlement with AIESL Management. Replying to it, he said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is a big victory in the Indian AME field and by the AIAMEU union; without going on strike, the management agreed to all of our major demands, including Promotion, Better Career opportunities, and SLA Change.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this, I asked him what next for Union, and he said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Now our aim is to unionize all the staff working in the maintenance field in India, including those working in airlines and MROs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, he thanked everyone who made this possible, including technicians, staff, and media professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We must appreciate the speedy response from AIESL Management and should thank them for this great decision for the betterment of technicians and the company ultimately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a big win, but we must unite together for more strength. If we are united, our voice will be heard by management, which will work in favor of all of the employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
