Strike not extended at Lufthansa's Germanwings for now

The trade union representing cabin crew at Germanwings decided Wednesday not to continue their strike for the time being after 3 days of stoppages led to dozens of flights being canceled. The Ufo labour union, which called strikes from Monday to Wednesday at Germanwings, will discuss Sunday how to proceed in the dispute with the company after deciding not to extend the strike, a spokesman said. The cabin crew strike had led to only 20 of 220 scheduled Germanwings flights taking off in the 3 days, although Lufthansa subsidiaries have given seats to stranded passengers, limiting the impact on customers. The deadlocked collective bargaining dispute for the 22,000 cabin employees concerns pay and working conditions among other issues. <br/>
