KARACHI: The administration of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has sacked 11 daily wage employees who took part in protests and strike.
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) had ended a fortnight long protest across the country and met Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif for dialogue on the issue of privatisation of the national flag carrier. All looked good as
All looked good as employees had resumed their assigned duties at the airports. However, only within couple of days, the PIA administration sacked 11 daily wagers, which has puzzled the JAC because the government had claimed it won’t remove anyone from service.
Those who have been sacked are Irfan, Nasir, Muhammad Rizwan, Aminullah, Sarfaraz, Mazhar Ali and others. These daily wagers have been sacked on charges of violating the Essential Services Act, which the federal government imposed on PIA to crush the countrywide protests of employees of PIA against the privatisation of the national flag carrier.
Apart from this, the PIA administration has also issued show cause notices to several hundred employees. The continuity of job of such employees is now directly linked to their satisfactory explanations in response to show-cause notices.
