Eva Air fails to sign agreement with union, strike continuesEva Air's flight attendants participate in an event to gather support for the week-long strike over work conditions outside the headquarters in Taoyuan, Taiwan, on June 23. (Reuters photo)Taiwan’s Eva Air failed to come to terms with representatives of striking flight attendants on Saturday night, and will renegotiate with workers on Tuesday, a union said. The strike will continue until a collective agreement is signed, the union said in a statement posted on its Facebook page at midnight. Among the issues for negotiation that broke down was the carrier’s refusal to withdraw punitive measures against flight attendants, according to a statement issued by the company. Eva Airways estimates the strike will cause the cancellation of almost 2000 flights by July 12, and impact hundreds of thousands of passengers.
