Hungary - Agreement after strike of Malév pilots - September 24, 2010

On 13 September, pilots of Malév Hungarian Airlines held a two-hour warning strike at Budapest Ferihegy Airport, in front of the terminal. The strike was held between 10 and 12 AM, deliberately in order to cause minor delays, as the union of pilots HUNALPA explained. According to the union the strike was a protest against the failure of talks with the Malév management on a collective agreement. After the warning strike, an agreement has been concluded.
