Czech Airline unions refuse wage cuts

Representatives of the eight Czech Airlines unions meeting with the company management and Finance Minister Eduard Janota have rejected wage decreases. The unions will now have one week to submit their own proposal for the company to save one billion crowns annually. Tensions have run high recently between the airline unions, which have threatened to go on unlimited strike, and the company management, some of whom have offered their own resignation in exchange for blanket wage reductions across the company.
