Air Corporations Employees Union (ACEU) is the largest union at India's flag carrier Air India, with a membership of 8000 out of 21,000 employees at the airline. It represents non-technical staff. The union opposes the Government of India's plan to privatize the airline.[1] The union is led by JB Kadyan.[2]
In August 2015, ACEU, along with Air India Employees Union became the two recognized unions representing workers at the airline and its ground-handling unit following the airline's first union elections. Previously, there were 14 different registered unions with members. A key reason for the elections was to reduce the number of unions to bring efficiency to the bargaining process.[2]
