Pilot Strike at Lufthansa "Possible at Any Time"

A high-level meeting with Lufthansa did not bring any progress in the wage conflict, according to the union. A new offer for occupational pensions is missing. The board and the wage commission will discuss the situation later this week. Strikes are possible. Many passengers are concerned about their flights during the autumn holidays. In the past, almost all flights were canceled during strikes. Besides a strike, there is the possibility to continue negotiations.

Lufthansa HR Chief: Solutions Only at the Negotiating Table

VC President Andreas Pinheiro had called on the Lufthansa management on Tuesday to present a conclusive offer for occupational pensions. Lufthansa HR Director Michael Niggemann welcomed the VC's willingness to resume negotiations. Solutions can only be found at the negotiating table.

In the strike vote concluded on Tuesday, the union received a clear majority in favor of industrial action. However, the approval was lower at the Lufthansa passenger company than at the freight subsidiary Lufthansa Cargo. Strikes could now be possible at any time, President Pinheiro stated.
