KFA employees urge Yuvraj not to play for RCB

February 15, 2014 20:00

Employees' union of the grounded Kingfisher Airlines, which has not paid its workers for the past 18 months, has appealed cricketer Yuvraj Singh not to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the forthcoming IPL championship on "moral grounds."

RCB, owned by airline chairman Vijay Mallya, has bought Yuvraj for a whopping Rs 14 crore during the first round of auction held in Bangalore last week.

"We have not been paid by Kingfisher Airlines for the last 18 months. The Rs 14 crore paid to you could have fed 15,000 mouths. It's now up to you to decide whether to turn a deaf ear to us and work for Mallya or to refuse his employment on moral grounds," the employee union said in an open letter to Yuvraj.
