China Airlines crew begin strike in Taipei
It was 12 am and hundreds of China Airlines employees were camped out in front of the company’s headquarters in downtown Taipei. The first-ever airline crew strike in Taiwan had begun. Dissent has been festering for many years and only in the recent months did some of the crew members begin to speak up through China Airlines’ union. The company was blamed for extremely long work hours, low pay on holiday shifts, and various changes China Airlines has made over the years that the crew claimed affected their rights as employee. China Airlines has announced that 8 flights will not be flying June 24. The destinations include Hong Kong, Incheon, Manila, and Fukuoka, and an estimated 1,590 passengers will be affected by the changes. <br/>
