Pilots with Germany’s flagship carrier\u00a0Lufthansa<\/a> have announced plans to once again go on strike on Thursday and Friday, after a 48-hour\u00a0strike on Monday and Tuesday<\/a> led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights.<\/p>\n

The airline is also\u00a0facing a cabin crew work stoppage on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

By the end of the week, Lufthansa’s\u00a0twin labor disputes with Vereinigung Cockpit (VC)\u00a0and the UFO cabin crew<\/a> trade union will have led to major strike disruptions<\/a> on six consecutive workdays.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What did the VC union say about its latest strike?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The president of the VC trade union Andreas Pinheiro said on Tuesday that striking over the past two days\u00a0had not altered Lufthansa’s position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The situation remains unchanged\u00a0\u2014 there has been no movement whatsoever on the part of the employers,” Pinheiro said. “Neither Lufthansa nor Lufthansa Cargo has presented an offer regarding the company pension plan, nor is there a viable offer from Lufthansa CityLine for a new collective wage agreement or from Eurowings regarding the company pension plan.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

VC said that it had recommended arbitration to try to resolve the increasingly acrimonious labor dispute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Around 900 flights were canceled just at Germany’s two busiest airports, Frankfurt and Munich, on Tuesday amid the current strike.<\/p>\n

More to come\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
