Eurocypria pilots threaten to strike

EUROCYPRIA pilots yesterday sent a strike warning to management over the collapse of negotiations to renew the collective agreement.

Pilots’ union Pasipy blames the airline’s management for its “negative stance” which has led to negotiation deadlock.

A general assembly by pilots yesterday rejected demands made on them by the company.

Frustrated over the lack of progress, the general assembly gave Pasipy the green light to take industrial action in order to secure their demands.

Pasipy called on Eurocypria management to take a more “realistic approach” on the matter in order to kick-start a productive dialogue – or face the consequences.
