Taipei, April 19 (CNA) The Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union (TFAU) said Friday it will hold a vote next month in which members will decide whether EVA Air flight attendants go on strike or continue negotiations that broke down earlier this week.

The vote will likely take more than 10 days, the TFAU said, and it urged the airline to come up with effective solutions to the issues the union has raised, which are mainly focused on work hours and pay.

The TFAU, to which 3,000 of EVA Air’s 4,000 flight attendants belong, declined to answer any further questions raised by the media on Friday.

In response to the TFAU’s latest declaration, an EVA Air executive expressed regret and urged the union to resume talks to avoid a “no-win” situation.    [FULL  STORY]
