Breaking News: Eurocypria staff go on strike

Eurocypria airlines staff have decided to go on an indefinite strike starting tonight. It had been announced initially that the strike would start at 6 am on Thursday, but state broadcaster CyBC reported that a Moscow flight scheduled for 9.20 pm tonight from Paphos has been cancelled because pilots feel psychological pressure due the situation and are unable to fly.

The decision to strike was taken after it emerged that the company would shut down on November 13 and the 320 workers will apparently be left in limbo.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
