Workers on strike.

However, even though the staff are putting down their tools, the Airlines Management has said its operations will proceed without the staff.

An internal Memo that MIJ Online has seen, has restricted all staff carrying out any actions in all company premises saying their presence will affect business negatively.

The Memo further indicates that the company will start deducting salaries from employees on strike if their strike gets into day four.

This will mark the first high profile time for the effectiveness of new labour laws to be seen.
