While some senior staff members have not received their salaries since January, the junior employees have not received their dues since March. Rahul Taneja, the chief people officer at Jet Airways, in a statement, said, "We have been categorically mandated [by the police] to communicate to all such employees, who were intending to participate in such a procession, to not do so," he said.
Meanwhile, a meeting was held in the Labour Commissioner's office in Sion on Friday between the Regional Labour Commissioner, members of Jet Airways management and Kiran Pawaskar, NCP leader and president of All India Jet Airway's Officers and Staff Association.
"What happens if the company shuts down? Who will be responsible for the gratuity, bonus and other benefits of the employees? We have mutually agreed that it is Naresh Goyal's [chairman of Jet Airways] responsibility to ensure that the employees get their dues," said Pawaskar.
