Union Predsident Russlan Ramdowar is now facing his 60th day of derostering and the continued instance on the part of Air mauritius that his return to work is predicated on undergoing psychological assessment.!!!!!! Ifalpa has made it absolutely clear that this 'is without precedent in the industry', but even though its been in the papers down there, Air Mauritius is making up its own rules and could be setting a precedent for us all.
Sixty days de-rostered would be enough to make any one mental and now theyve told him they want another ten days so they can figure out what to do with him. How did he get in this mess? He wrote to IFALPA for clarification on the FTL's (which they are abusing), the message was intercepted by management and they didn't like it so he came off the line. Its called union busting everywhere else in the world, its called 'face' in mauritius and its called complete s**** for the poor guy who has to go through with it. Sounds like victimisation. The Ops Director has got him in his cross hairs and really made this personal but is he big enough to take on IFALPA?
