One more time must be set thousands Lufthansa passengers delays and flight cancellations. The union Cockpit called for a new strike. Affected is the Frankfurt airport.
The Lufthansa pilots want to strike again on Tuesday. Would strike 9-17 clock the long haul flights that take off the German’s largest airport in Frankfurt, said the pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit with on Monday.
This is the fourth argument of the pilots, since the collective conversations between pilots and Lufthansa were the end of August aborted. The union gives the strike wave their demand for maintaining an in-house early retirement for the 5400 Lufthansa pilots emphasis.
Almost every week a strike
On August 28, the Lufthansa subsidiary German Wings had initially been on strike, on September 5, short and medium haul flights of the parent company were on strike, on 10 September concentrated industrial action to Munich Airport. Overall, since the end of August fell from around 475 flights. Also in early April there had been a three-day walkout. At that time, about 3,800 flights had failed.
With 55 retired
The reason for the labor dispute is a dispute over arrangements for transitional care. It allows pilots so far to go in the paid early retirement from the age of 55 years. The company wants to increase the age limit. Cockpit rejects this.
The Lufthansa plans for the new rules on pension stipulate that from 2014 set pilots save up the funds for an early transition into retirement itself. The company wants the earliest individual and the average age of the pilots set up at least 60 or 61 years. This corresponds to the standard of other European airlines.
