The Lufthansa management had “still not presented a compromise competitive offer” in the dispute over the early retirement and thus forced the new strike, said the VC. Two weeks ago they had already announced an eight-hour long-range strike. This they had but then canceled at short notice, and new interviews with the management out, but they are now once again unsuccessful.


                                                             
             
                                                                                 

The company plans to raise the minimum age for access to occupational early retirement for pilots from 55 to 60 years. This early retirement pension is 60 percent of the final gross salary. Against the continuation of pilot strikes also do yourself the Group on resistors: In an open letter to the 5400 pilot for the first time calling the 1200 management of Lufthansa her colleagues for moderation: “Please return to the cockpit and at the negotiating table,” it says. No employee in the entire Lufthansa Group have a similar early retirement scheme as the pilot.


                                                             
             
                                                                                 

The fact that Lufthansa, the German railway and some other employers actually have to do with a particularly difficult employee representatives, is also new data from the Institute of the German Economy (IW): Whether pilots, train drivers or hospital doctors – collective bargaining rounds with divisional and professional unions run on average almost twice as aggressive as the collective bargaining rounds of major trade unions such as IG Metall or Verdi. This shows an analysis for which the employer near Institute analyzed a 134 industrial disputes since 2000.


                                                             
             
                                                                                 

At the top of the conflict scale is here the train drivers’ union GDL, which – as measured by a newly developed index – an average of 43 points per round of collective bargaining conflict comes. The pilots have their aggressiveness factor increases within a year by almost half to 19.5 points per round of collective bargaining. At the other end of the social partners Mining, Chemical and Energy stands with only 0.2 points. On average, the industry unions are the analyzed sector unions in 23 conflict points at the 13th

                                                             
             
                                                                                 

The investigation of the tariff researcher Hagen Lesch goes well beyond other studies on the role of craft unions, as they are not simply measures the intensity conflict on the number of participants in the strike or strike days. Rather Lesch has collected the full range of occurring in collective bargaining rounds escalation levels for the new index and graded on a scale from 1 to 7 points. It ranges from “verbal-formal” escalation – about strike threats – over strike calls and warning strikes, arbitration and legal battles up to the maximum level of indefinite industrial action

Usual strike statistics sign the conflict potential of craft unions. For this set already with few participants and brief work stoppages often high damage, but still remain so under the statistical measurement threshold. The official statistics of the Federal Employment Agency is one of only about strikes of at least one-day duration as full strikes. The pilots remain, however, this time with a period of 15 hours under this limit. Seen Officially, their walkout falls thus under the “Bagatellstreiks.”


                                                             
             
                                                                                 

In contrast, the strikes of Verdi were in the contract talks in 2013 the retail trade by the same method a major event, although it loaded only a few customers: The employment agency counted 573 affected farms and 20,000 strikers. The Federal Agency shall statistics based statutory reports of employers; they even admits that in order to strike action “under control” will.
