Taipei, June 7 (CNA) Members of the Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union (TFAU) have voted in favor of going on strike at EVA Airways over work hour and overseas pay issues, the union announced Friday, but it did not say if and when a strike will actually take place.

“We may go on a strike at any moment from now on given that we have obtained the legal right to do so,” said TFAU Secretary-General Cheng Ya-ling (鄭雅菱), urging EVA Air to recognize the determination of its flight attendants.

Cheng put the onus for a strike on EVA Air, saying that whether one takes place will depend on if the carrier is willing to improve the working conditions of its flight attendants.

In response to the result, EVA Air said in a statement that it “very much regretted” the outcome.    [FULL  STORY]
