Air Zimbabwe Tells Pilots to Return to Work as Strike Enters Third Day

Air Zimbabwe Ltd. told pilots to return to work or face disciplinary action as a strike over a salary dispute entered its third day.

“The board of Air Zimbabwe has declared the strike illegal and told the pilots they have 24 hours in which to return to work or they will face disciplinary action,” Air Zimbabwe chairman Jonathan Kadzura said today in a telephone interview from Harare, the southern African nation’s capital.

The strike has disrupted flights to local, regional and international destinations. Kadzura couldn’t immediately say how many passengers had been affected by the labor action.
