Airline companies under the Federation of Indian Airlines plan to make a presentation to the civil aviation ministry saying they will be forced to axe 8,000 employees if the government implements the new ground handling policy from January 1, 2009. About 29 per cent of the 28,000-odd employees working in the private carriers are involved in ground handling.
The figure constitutes less than one per cent of the company's 1,30,000-workforce. According to the report, a TCS spokesperson reasoned that these employees had failed to meet performance standards.
