Thursday, 21 February , 2008, 20:13 New Delhi: Agitated over the "failure" of the government to fulfil its 19-point charter of demands, the Airport Authority Employees' Union has called a nationwide indefinite strike from February 26. "No action has been taken by the government since our token strike on February 12 with respect to our demands. So we have decided to undertake a countrywide massive industrial action during which all the non-executives will remain off the job from February 26," AAEU General Secretary M K Ghoshal said.

Update...
Impending strike has been put off until 10th March.
On a purely selfish note, I am now quite relaxed - this means that at least we will get to India even if we don't get back home afterwards!!!!   |
