Taiwan’s Eva Airways Corp failed to come to terms with representatives of striking flight attendants, and will renegotiate with workers on Tuesday, a union said.
The strike will continue until a collective agreement is signed, the union said in a statement posted on its Facebook page. Among the issues for negotiation that broke down was the carrier’s refusal to withdraw punitive measures against flight attendants, according to a statement issued by the company.
A majority of the employees voted to accept an offer by the carrier on Friday, and were willing to end the 10-day strike.
The action started in June and involves more than 2,300 workers. The cancellation of 392 flights between June 20 and 28 caused revenue losses of $56 million, the company said in a statement to the Taiwan stock exchange.
