Turkey's flagship airline is facing the threat of a strike after negotiations with the country's main aviation workers union collapsed. The head of the Turkish Civilian Aviation Union, or Hava-Is, said the strike against Turkish Airlines would go into effect at 3 a.m. local time Wednesday. "All of Turkish Airlines' functions will stop, no passenger flights, no cargo services, no connecting flights," Hava-Is president Atilay Aycin said in a phone interview with CNN. "All sectors starting with the tourism industry who are doing business with Turkish Airlines will be affected," Aycin added. Hava-Is says it represents 14,000 Turkish airlines workers.
