Flight attendants at the national carrier CSA announced on a three-day strike over low pay. However, the cabin crew trade union was confronted with a provisional court ruling. The CSA management considered the strike illegal and took measures to prevent flight cancellations. The action is in protest over low wages, after salary cuts were made in February 2015. The company management has refused to negotiate a long-term raise in salaries, until ČSA consolidates its finances. The latest news is that the strike has to be postponed.
