It's All About Strikes

This time its Lufthansa...



Travellers to and from Germany are bracing themselves for further disruptions in April following news that Lufthansa pilots are planning on a SECOND strike. The crew from Germany’s largest airline have stated that they will stage a four-day walk-out from April 13th as a result of ongoing disputes over wages and job security.

Reason: "Lufthansa group has been attempting to reduce its massive operating costs in the wake of the economic downturn that has impacted significantly across the travel industry. A recent statement by the airline said that its latest offer to pilots was in line with the current economic climate and the financial situation of the carrier. The most recent offer demands that Lufthansa pilots agree to a pay freeze that will continue over the next two years." - Taylor Smith
