Ten employees of Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA) went on strike on Sunday in protest against the dismissal of a colleague, reports Haveeru.
Haveeru spoke to an anonymous crew member who claimed that the dismissed employee was sacked after failing to provide a urine sample.
Operations Director Ahmed Latheef told Haveeru that some employees were on ‘sick leave’, and that any further comment was internal business. 17 scheduled flights were in operation Sunday.
