Air India pilots' union urges Tata chairman to rectify 'exploitative' HR conditions

They pilots union has alleged that the HR department has little regard for the decades of experience logged by its employees. "The HR administration responsible for overseeing the Air India workforce had little regard for the decades of experience possessed by its employees. Instead, they appeared to be focused on dismantling, restructuring, or even replacing the human assets of the airline," the union said.

Additionally, the union accused the HR department of following a draconian approach that curtails the autonomy of employees. The union has urged N. Chandrasekaran to rectify the situation before it deteriorates any further. "HR policies characterised by a draconian approach, driven by a lack of trust and aimed at curtailing the autonomy of employees, began to roll out."
