The Philippine government will mediate a dispute between Philippine Airlines and flight attendants to head off a strike. Talks on industrial matters have failed and the union has backed a strike. However, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz says the government will oversee compulsory arbitration. The dispute comes nearly two months after some of the airline's pilots stopped reporting for work, causing days of flight disruptions across the country. President Benigno Aquino says an open skies policy of allowing in more foreign carriers is an option, if labour disputes continue to affect the tourism sector and economy.
