Air India Strike Enters Eigth Day


Here's the "liberal" Washington Post and the Council of Foreign Relations' Foreign Policy using the strike to wage class war by urging privatization. Apparently they would have us believe that the pilots wouldn't have need of a strike if they were privately owned.

"NEW DELHI — Pilots with India’s state-owned airline entered the eighth day of an indefinite nationwide strike Wednesday, demanding higher wages and a probe into what they call the company’s near-destruction by corrupt or incompetent officials."[emphasis added]
