Now, AAI officers on strike

“Instead of making extra efforts to maintain equipment, we will take our own time,” said V Mohan, regional secretary, AAI Technical and Communications Officers’ Association. The stir has already affected repairs of the radar which broke down today. However, there has been no disruption in flights. Said sources, talks broke down on Friday after the officers demanded parity in pay and perks with ATCs. “The management is not sincere enough and their representatives did not even read our charter of demands,” said Mohan. Consequently, the strike scheduled for December 2 was launched today.
