Budget carrier Jetstar Japan Co. canceled 15 domestic flights as it could not secure enough workers for operation amid an ongoing strike by some union members.
The union, including flight crew members, launched the strike on Dec. 22 following failed negotiations with management over demands that the airline pay employees' unpaid wages and allegations that overtime work had been calculated erroneously.
On the 1st January, the union called off the strike altogether in order to prioritize responding to the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
Business and Human Rights Resource Centre invited Jetstar to respond to these allegations. It did not.
