By Ann Maxon / Staff reporterThe Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union yesterday urged China Airlines to replace chairman Ho Nuan-hsuan (何煖軒) and deliver on its promises to the Taoyuan Union of Pilots as the pilots’ strike entered its seventh day. The company has been managing its employees in a relentless and dishonest manner, having gone back on its promises multiple times, the Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union said in a statement. China Airlines flight attendants on June 24, 2016, launched a three-day strike after the company decided that many flight attendants should report to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, instead of Taipei International Airport (Songshan airport), which would have significantly reduced their rest time between shifts. The strike forced the company to agree to seven demands by the Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union, including allowing fight attendants to report to their original work location and raising union members’ overseas allowances. The Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union supports the pilots’ strike and would “wage another war” against the company if they must do so to protect members’ rights, it said.
