JAL warns of possible strike action

Sunday, 15 Jun, 2009 0

Pilots, cabin crew and groundstaff are threatening strike action this week at Japan Air Lines.

Four unions have indicated their members may walk out on Wednesday.
 
The JAL Pilots Union, representing 660 members, plans a 72-hour strike, with a union representing 1,150 cabin crew planning 24-hour
disruption.
 
Two unions representing 750 ground staff plan a six-hour strike on Wednesday.
 
The airline said all domestic and international flights are expected to run as normal on June 17 and 18.
 
But the pilots’ union action into a third day “may affect some JAL domestic services in the form of flight delays or cancellations”.

“The unions are still in negotiations with the JAL Group management,” an airline statement said without detailing the subject of the dispute with staff.
