KTHY employee strike grounds flights
The cabinet of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC), citing the relevant law, ordered a 60-day postponement of the strike just minutes after it began, but KTHY workers with the Hava-Sen Union refused to obey, gathering outside the company’s offices.
The cabinet initially postponed a similar strike scheduled for Feb. 4, and the current strike is a follow up to that postponement. KTHY flights from Ercan International Airport in northern Cyprus were canceled due to the strike. One Pegasus Airlines flight left Ercan because it had no ties to the KTHY employees.
KKTC Prime Minister Derviş Eroğlu, before entering a cabinet meeting, called for the workers to make sacrifices, citing the $100 million worth of debt KTHY carried when the company was handed over to a new executive board. He added that the new board was working to “figure out a way to not run the company at a loss and also not dismiss anyone.”
