A union representing Lufthansa cabin crew on Monday called for a two-day strike later this week, following a walkout last week and a separate pilots’ strike in progress.
The UFO union is calling the strike for all departures out of Frankfurt and Munich.
Cabin crew last struck on Friday, resulting in the cancellation of hundreds of flights.
The union cited deadlock in a collective bargaining dispute.
Even after Friday’s strike, “the union sees no sufficient movement on the part of the employers,” it said.
Lufthansa board member Michael Niggemann said in reaction to the strike plans that the union is “completely indifferent to the fate of our passengers and the future of Lufthansa”.
Pilots struck on Monday and plan to do so again on Tuesday, affecting tens of thousands of passengers.
Earlier strikes by Lufthansa cabin crew and pilots in February and March resulted in widespread cancellations.
I do find it kind of amusing that their union is UFO but in all seriousness, solidarity forever ✊️
