US EditionLufthansa Cabin Crew Union Calls Friday Strike Over Pay and Conditions
The one-day walkout follows failed talks over shifts, notice periods and redundancy terms for about 19,000 cabin crew and 800 Cityline staff.
- The cabin crew union UFO has called on staff at Lufthansa and its regional subsidiary Cityline to hold a one-day strike on Friday following failed negotiations over working conditions and redundancy packages.
- Negotiations stalled as the union demanded better shift predictability and a redundancy package for roughly 800 Cityline employees. UFO chief Joachim Vazquez Bürger argued Lufthansa "has not even managed to present an offer worthy of negotiation."
- All departures from Frankfurt and Munich will be affected from 12:01 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time on Friday. This marks the airline's third labor disruption in two months, following strikes in February and mid-March.
- Lufthansa spokesperson Martin Leutke apologized for disruptions, calling the strike "disproportionate and very short-notice," while the airline urged the union to resume talks immediately.
- A vast majority of UFO members voted in favor of strike action in late March, reflecting ongoing tension over long-term restructuring and employee security at the carrier.
