Strikers ground all Pakistani state airline planes
Pakistan's state-owned airline grounded all flights yesterday, stranding thousands of angry passengers as an employee strike stretched into a fourth day and turned violent in some areas as police clashed with striking employees.
Pilots and support staff went on strike Tuesday over a proposal to have the struggling carrier share routes with Turkish Airlines. PIA managers say the route-sharing idea will lessen its financial losses, but strikers fear it will lead to job and pay cuts.
