Kathmandu, Apr.26: Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation Employee Union has withheld its pressurising programme for one month in response to the management’s time bound working plan to implement the different agreements reached between the union and the management, a press release issued today by the union said.

“After the new chairman took over, since the RNAC management has sent to us a time bound work plan to meet our demands and keeping in view the request of the new chairman to stall the pressure programme, we have decided to withhold our programme for one month beginning tomorrow,” said the release signed by N.B. Rai, Chairman of the union.

“In return of our co-operation we believe that the management will implement all the agreements – meant for the welfare of the staff of the corporation — reached between the management and the union within the end of the next month.”

The union has further warned that if its demands are not fulfilled this time, it will resort to more severe pressure tactics.

Charging the management of ignoring their demands, ranging from promotion of the corporation’s staff to strengthening the airline’s fleet, the union had begun its pressure programmes tying black band around the arms since April 7 this month.
