August 8 (SeeNews) - Croatia Airlines [ZSE:CRAL] will carry out all scheduled flights on Wednesday, after a Zagreb court issued a provisional ban on a strike scheduled by its employees to start at 6 am CET on August 8, the company said.
The Zagreb County Court on Tuesday issued an interim ban on the strike, after Croatia Airlines filed a complaint disputing its legitimacy, the airline said in a statement sent to SeeNews.
The court is expected to rule on the legitimacy of the strike later on Wednesday, with the hearing currently in session.
Croatia Airlines will conduct over 100 flights on Wednesday, carrying some 7,600 passengers.
Last week, Croatia Airlines said it stands to lose 800,000 euro ($928,530.5) per day of the strike. Croatia Airlines Workers’ Union (ORCA) informed the company that the strike will continue until all 150 demands of the employees have been met.
The demands include a wage hike, which Croatia Airlines argues would increase its salary costs by 30%, or by 53 million kuna ($8.3 million/7.2 million euro) per year - a financial burden which the company is unable to bear.
The Croatia Airlines Group employs 1,037 people.
