Eurowings cabin crew plan two-day strike next week

Eurowings flight attendants, represented by the UFO union, have planned a two-day strike next week if continued negotiations scheduled for Oct. 30 fail. The union did not clarify which days could be affected if the strike goes ahead. Eurowings confirmed in an Oct. 28 statement that it welcomed the union’s offer to resume negotiations. Eurowings flight attendants went on a 24-hour strike Oct. 27, resulting in 393 flight cancellations out of 551 scheduled flights for the day, affecting 40,000 passengers. UFO had said last week that strikes could be possible at any time for two weeks from Oct. 24, after management negotiations failed. Eurowings said in a statement that it could not agree on a solution in the tariff conflict. However, management said it offered all Eurowings Germany flight attendants not only substantial increases in remuneration, but also a conciliation of all open-wage agreements at Eurowings.<br/>
