In the January Newsletter we reported already on the difficult negotiations at Czech Airlines. The national carrier has lowered their staff's salaries by around 40%, introducing new cost-saving measures. According to the trade unions, the drop in wages is higher than it was previously agreed. The airline in October agreed on a wage cut of around a third and 180 redundancies. The trade unions representing the company's pilots and stewards filed a complaint over the new collective agreement and consider the option to strike.
