Berlin, Germany – The German pilots’ union has called for a new strike at Lufthansa on Thursday and Friday. This decision marks a further escalation in the crisis between the union and the company’s management over disagreements regarding wages and working conditions.
The union explained that the strike call comes after the latest rounds of negotiations failed. It asserted that the pilots’ demands have not been adequately met, prompting it to take this escalatory step to pressure management.
The strike is expected to lead to the cancellation and delay of a large number of flights. This could cause significant disruption at German airports, especially given the increased travel demand at the weekend.
In response, Lufthansa management expressed regret over the repeated strikes. It also indicated its commitment to continuing dialogue with the union to avoid further losses and negative impacts on passengers.
