Taipei, May 6 (CNA) Flight attendants of Taiwanese airline Far Eastern Air Transport
As of Saturday noon, 21 of 46 flight attendants who should be at work were absent, leading to the cancellation of two flights between northern Taiwan’s Taoyuan City and Harbin City in northeastern China, and two other flights between southern Taiwan’s Kaohsiung and its outlying island Penghu scheduled for that day, the airline said.
The flight attendants “took the day off” to protest against Far Eastern Air’s laying off of 17 flight attendants recently, delayed payments of subsidies to its flight attendants and unilaterally making adjustments to the employees’ salary scale. [FULL STORY]
