The Cathay Pacific flight attendant union is seeking a 7.5 per cent raise from Cathay Pacific Airways next year.
The union claims that the company’s wage increases in recent years have not taken into account Hong Kong’s high inflation rates. Also, as the company has made a record HK$20 million in profits last year the union believes the wage increase proposed is reasonable.
Aside from increases in pay next year, The Sun reports, the union is also seeking the airline extend retirement age from 50 to 65 years of age and continue to provide attendants with other fringe benefits like housing allowance.
