Denmark: SAS cabin crew wildcat
Crews at the Swedish carrier SAS AB walked out in a wildcat yesterday morning after pay and pensions talks broke down.
The walkout caused the cancellation of 92 flights and bosses threatened the 1,600 strong CAU union with fines for its members if they did not return to work. After the intervention of a union official the staff returned to work in the afternoon, apparently after an arbitrator called bosses and the union back to the negotiating table.

Legal threats and intimidation see end to pilots' wildcat strike
Pilots with Scandinavian airline SAS have called off their strike after three days. The dispute, which grounded over 1,000 flights and spread across two countries was ended after SAS took pilots' unions to court in Denmark, Norway and Sweden demanding over €1,000 compensation from each pilot.
Shortly after the pilots announced the end of their work stoppage on Wednesday, the court issued a preliminary ruling ordering the pilots to return to work immediately.
