EVA Air cabin crew strike continues as talks reach impasse
The strike by EVA Air cabin crews continued into the 11th day July 1 after a tentative agreement collapsed when the airline refused to withdraw potential punitive measures against the striking employees. The Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union voted June 29 to accept the airline’s initial offers, but the following day negotiations reached an impasse over the retaliatory measures. In May, the carrier said that in the event of a strike it would consider freezing wage increases and suspending year-end bonuses for striking employees, as well as suspending discounted airfares for workers and their families for 3 years. Both parties will reconvene July 2 for another round of meetings in a bid to end Taiwan aviation’s longest strike. The labour action, which began June 20, has cost the airline about TWD1.8b, with 932 flights canceled. <br/>
