Lufthansa Attendants to Resume Strike Tuesday, Union Says
Source: Bloomberg News
Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA) flight attendants will stop work Sept. 4, expanding the length and locations of an eight-hour walkout Aug. 31 over a 13-month wage dispute at Europe’s second-biggest airline.
Details of the cabin crew’s actions will be provided at least six hours in advance of the strike, the Unabhaengige Flugbegleiter Organisation union said in an e-mailed statement today. The UFO, which says it represents about 19,400 flight attendants in the contract talks, didn’t say how many flight attendants would go on strike.
“Since Lufthansa provided no signal to the UFO after the strike at Frankfurt airport, the labor dispute continues,” the union said in its statement.
Lufthansa canceled at least 207 flights Aug. 31, primarily within Europe, as well as services to and from some U.S. cities, Tel Aviv and Chennai, India, according to Lufthansa’s website.
