Airport Workers Call Off Strike After Closed-Door Meeting With Chirchir

The airport workers, who downed their tools on Wednesday, have not backed down from their opposition to the proposed 30-year takeover by Adani. During the negotiations, facilitated by the Ministry of Transport and union leaders, an agreement was reached for the workers to resume duties. 

The strike, which disrupted flights across the country, forced a response from both the government and union leaders. What followed was a day-long negotiation that resulted in a temporary return to work.

The proposal seeks to make major upgrades on JKIA, but there has been opposition to the proposal that has been surrounded by a lack of transparency and clarity. Resolving the strike is crucial to reopening the airport while opening a door for dialogue on the matter.
