The unions in Air India – Indian Airlines are on war path.  The decision of the central government to form two subsidiary companies – AI Airport Services Limited and AI Engineering Services Limited – and divert 19,000 employees to them are strongly opposed by the  eight employees unions in Air India. They have also sought a meeting with the Prime minister on this issue. It is complained by the unions that even after taking charge three months back, the Minister has not met them even once.  If the issues are not settled the unions have threatened strike action.
