AIR India strikers picketed the Indian High Commission in London on Monday 18th. 91 workers, all members of the TGWU, have been sacked by the airline, which is owned by the Indian state.
The Indian Workers' Association has also ОГganised pickets of Air India offices in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bradford, to encourage travellers to boycott the airline.
British Airways engineers at Heathrow voted to 'black' Air India spare parts, and technical and clerical workers to 'black' the airline's use of a central reservations system controlled by British Airways.
Support is still needed at the regular picket lines at Heathrow and New Bond St. Messages/money: TGWU Air India branch 1/1305, 7/9 South Road, Southall, Middlesex.
