Ver.di has once again called on Lufthansa ground staff to go on a warning strike. The strike will begin on Tuesday at 4 a.m. and end on Wednesday at 7:10 a.m. The airports affected include Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf and Berlin.
The service union Ver.di has again called on Lufthansa’s ground staff to strike in the collective bargaining dispute. Accordingly, the employees should stop work from Tuesday from 4 a.m. to Wednesday at 7:10 a.m., the union said.
The airports in Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne-Bonn and Stuttgart are affected.
A 27-hour strike at the beginning of February largely paralyzed flight operations at the Lufthansa hubs in Frankfurt and Munich. Around 900 of 1,000 planned flights were canceled, affecting around 100,000 passengers, according to Lufthansa.
Lufthansa had improved its offering
Lufthansa improved its offer last week. It provides for 10 percent more money in the next twelve months. The union is demanding 12.5 percent more salary and at least 500 euros per month for a term of twelve months for the 25,000 Lufthansa employees on the ground. There is also a dispute about inflation compensation premiums and various surcharges.
