Lufthansa, VC pilot union reach long-term agreement
Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo and Germanwings have reached a deal with the Vereinigung Cockpit pilot union and signed a new collective labour agreement (CLA) on all previously open issues. The signed contracts correspond to the agreement reached in March. Talks between Lufthansa and VC have been ongoing since 2014 and have resulted in 14 pilot strikes that cost the airline group E500m (US$590m). According to Lufthansa, the CLA is subject to approval of the trade union members in form of a ballot. Among others, the deals include agreements on framework collective and remuneration deals, as well as accords on pension and transitional payments through June 2022. The pension scheme will be changed from a system of defined benefits to a system of defined contributions, as already agreed with ground and cabin staff. <br/>
