According to Lufthansa, more than 100,000 customers may be affected. The strike is planned to last until 7.10am on Wednesday in some parts of the company, but will generally end on Wednesday night.
According to Verdi, Lufthansa’s employees in the fields of technology, logistics, transportation and IT went on a warning strike on Monday evening. The union also called for a work stoppage on Tuesday for field workers in Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn and Stuttgart.
The company expects hundreds of flight cancellations. On Monday evening, the company canceled more than 50 connections at its flagship hub in Frankfurt. Only a few intercontinental flights still need to happen.
On Tuesday, the airline wants to fly 10 to 20 percent of its planned schedule of about 1,000 flights. Munich Airport warned of significant restrictions. All 23 of Lufthansa’s flights in Hamburg and Düsseldorf and almost all in Cologne/Bonn have been canceled, according to operators. Airports not on strike were also affected: in Hanover and Bremen, all Lufthansa flights to and from Frankfurt and Munich were cancelled.
The Swiss airline and Swiss airports did not expect the strike on Monday to have a major impact on Switzerland.
During the first wave of warning strikes almost two weeks ago, nearly 900 flights were canceled and more than 100,000 passengers were forced to reschedule. Lufthansa warned passengers on canceled flights: They should not come to the airport because there are no staff at the reservation counters there.
According to Verdi, the background of the warning strike includes group-wide collective wage negotiations for approximately 25,000 employees at the site, including Deutsche Lufthansa, Lufthansa Technik, Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services and Lufthansa Engineering and Operational Services (Leos). ). Lufthansa is talking about 20,000 employees.
Collective agreement negotiations are planned to continue on Wednesday. Verdi called the second wave of warning attacks necessary because Lufthansa had taken no steps to improve its current offer in previous negotiations.
