Kingfisher crisis: Employees withdraw Strike Call

The Kingfisher employees have withdrawn the deadline of agitation following the assurance given by Kingfisher Chairman Vijay Mallya that they will be paid salaries by April 10.

The stand-off between the management and employees in Kingfisher Airlines ended today when the staff accepted Mallya's assurance. Mallya had invited the representative pilots and other staff to his residence on Monday evening to discuss the crisis and the meeting went on till late night.

The employees had set a deadline for an agitation if their demands will not be met on Tuesday evening at 8 PM. However, Mallya had urged them to co-operate him during the adverse situation expressing his concern on delayed salaries.

On Monday, Mallya had promised that the junior staff would be paid before Easter on April 4 and all pilots and engineers would get their salaries on April 9 and April 10. However, the agitated engineers and pilots had threatened the management with an ultimatum to go on strike if they will not be paid salaries by Tuesday.
