Lufthansa cabin crew to strike at Germany's busiest airports

German cabin crew union UFO urged members Monday to walk off their jobs at Lufthansa Oct 20th, although the carrier contests its right to represent workers. "We call on all cabin crew... not to show up to work" between 6 and 11 am at Germany's two busiest hubs Frankfurt and Munich, UFO chairman Daniel Flohr said in a video message to staff. At least 5 of the Lufthansa group's airlines -- Lufthansa, Eurowings, Germanwings, Cityline and Sunexpress -- would be hit by strikes for higher pay in the coming weeks, Flohr added. Lufthansa said it would "maintain its entire timetable", calling UFO's call to strike "illegal". Bosses at the airline group believe UFO may no longer have the legal right to speak for workers and have challenged its status in court. <br/>
