Lufthansa Cabin Crew Union Calls Friday Strike Over Pay and Conditions
The union said deadlocked talks over working conditions and redundancy terms left 19,000 Lufthansa crew and 800 Cityline workers set to strike.
- 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.
