Lufthansa pilots union set to call strikes
Lufthansa pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit has threatened strikes in support of a long-running pay dispute. VC said it will give 24 hours notice of any strike action after the failure of talks with Lufthansa management. The pilots’ union wants a 3.66% average pay increase for the last five years. VC said Lufthansa has not increased pilot pay during that period and that the airline had made E5b profit during that time. Lufthansa said the strike call was “incomprehensible” and had offered mediation as a way forward. VC rejected a Lufthansa offer in September of a one-off payment and a 4.4% pay rise.<br/>
