The service company said in a news release that it would take the issues raised by its employees into consideration. Photo: CNAThe union — which non-unionized ground staff have enlisted to speak on their behalf — on Friday said that ground crew members were additionally seeking higher base salaries and holiday bonuses relative to temporary workers. The service company on Saturday defended its bonus policy, saying that it posted a combined deficit of NT$99.38 million in the first three quarters of last year. The service company did not benefit from a surge in the airline’s cargo business, as it mostly serves passenger flights, it said. EVA Airways, which is planning to pay its employees three months of salary as year-end bonuses, has not announced any wage increases.
