Former staff of the defunct Cyprus Airways gathered in front of Parliament to demand full rights.
Former staff of the defunct Cyprus Airways gathered in front of Parliament to demand full rights. The protesters handed over a petition demanding the state ‘undertake its responsibilities as the main shareholder of the now defunct airline, with time frames of payment, commitment on action to re-hire employees either by the state or a possible new local privately owned carrier and securing the providence funds of employees made redundant last year’. The workers argue that the two salaries the dismissed workers are entitled to should not include the cuts that were imposed on public salaries after the airline had already been closed down.
