Strike threat averted at Stobart Air after talks commitment
Cabin crew at Stobart Air threatened to strike- a move that would have grounded regional flights and negatively impacted customers. The airline spoke to the union and agreed to negotiate wages and workplace conditions in order to keep the strike from occurring. Management had been resistant towards beginning talks to discuss wages until the cabin crew voted to strike on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the airline has since stated that management is pleased with how negotiations are proceeding thus far, and is committed to fostering a collaborative relationship with workers.
