Retired employees of Pakistan International Airline (PIA) have sought redressal of their grievances as the recent inflation has added to their miseries.
“The pension has not been increased since long and the retired employees are not getting any relief especially inflating prices of daily use items and other essential commodities,” said a press statement issued here by the former General Manager Public Relations Bashir Ahmed of the state-owned flag carrier.
He said that the pension of the retired employees was increased only twice in 2013 and 2019 despite an unprecedented price hike of the essential commodities.
He urged the PIA board to give the raise as being given to retired employees of federal and provincial governments in annual budgets.
