March 12, 14,000 members of the Airports Authority Employees Union (AAEU) walked off the job, but so far impacts have been minimal.  Some of those striking workers—ground controllers, for example— sound pretty essential to flight operations. Others, such as baggage crew, seem like people you’d really like to see after a 20-hour flight from LA through Frankfurt,  but apparently in India they aren’t that big of a deal.

The Economic Times quotes a happy traveler, who says “There is no problem. Everything is normal. I got my baggage in time. We expected chaos here but I was surprised to find everything normal on a strike day.”

These are the same employees who went on a hunger strike in February, a move that’s much more Mahatma Ghandi  than it is rabble-rouser. Their peaceful protest could go on quite a while, and it's bound to be full of non-cooperation. Travelers are advised to keep an eye on the strike and continue to confirm reservations.
