Pakistan: PIA fails to pay salary to 7000 employees amid financial constraints

| @indiablooms | 15 Dec 2023, 05:06 pm

As many as 7,000 Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) employees have not received their salaries in November as the national carrier continues to struggle with financial struggle for months now.

This situation has amplified the unease among employees of the national flag carrier, reported The Express Tribune.

Addressing the issue, Hidayatullah Khan, the airline’s CBA union president, alleged intentional salary delays by the PIA management.

He pointed fingers at the caretaker government, attributing the recent fuel crisis faced by the airline to government actions.

Khan further accused deliberate actions driving the organization into financial distress.

"Employees are being subjected to deliberate humiliation. Should salaries be delayed again next month, expect forceful protests from the union," Khan told the newspaper.

A PIA spokesperson cited financial constraints as the reason behind delay in salary.

“Efforts are underway to secure funds through alternative channels for salary disbursements," the spokesperson told the newspaper.

The spokesperson, however, assured that all employees would receive their salaries within the coming days.
