On Tuesday I wrote about how Lufthansa's flight attendant union,UFO, announced that they'd depart on strike November 6-13 if a contractual agreement couldn't be reached. Since it was still a few days off, and I figured there was still a chance they could reach an agreement,given that neither side has anything to gain by them basically shutting down the airline.
Unfortunately it looks like their negotiations weren't successful, and that the strike will begin tomorrow. Here's the official statement from Lufthansa:"Against the background of the announced strike by the Independent Flight Attendant’s Organization (UFO) on Lufthansa flights from Friday 6th of November until Friday 13th of November 2015, or Lufthansa is trying to maintain the effect of the strike on its customers as low as possible.
The announcement would affect flights from Lufthansa German Airlines – Flights operated by Lufthansa CityLine,Germanwings, Eurowings, and Air Dolomiti,Austrian Airlines, SWISS and Brussels Airlines are not affected by potential strike actions and will therefore escape as planned."The post Week-Long Lufthansa Strike Begins Tomorrow appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
