AI Express Union Expresses Concern Over Cabin Crew Charge Sheets

11 Jun 2024 CW Team

The AI Express Union has expressed deep concern regarding the recent issuance of charge sheets to several cabin crew members, describing the action as unfortunate and unwarranted. This development has sparked controversy within the airline community and raised questions about the management's approach to employee discipline.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the charge sheets were reportedly issued for alleged breaches of company protocols during routine flight operations. The union, representing the interests of AI Express employees, argues that the use of charge sheets in this context is disproportionate and could have been addressed through less severe measures.

In response to the union's objections, AI Express management defended their decision, citing the importance of upholding strict operational standards and ensuring passenger safety. They clarified that issuing charge sheets is part of their standard protocol for addressing serious violations of company policies.

The incident has highlighted ongoing tensions between airline management and frontline staff regarding disciplinary procedures and employee rights. Union officials have called for a more balanced and transparent approach to handling such issues, emphasising the need for fair treatment and due process for all employees.

As discussions continue between the union and management to resolve this issue, both parties are hopeful of finding common ground that respects employee concerns while maintaining operational efficiency and safety standards within AI Express.
