Cabin crew of Europe's leading airline group Lufthansa are called to strike on Tuesday for all flights departing from Frankfurt airport and on Wednesday for all those departing from Munich. Employees are demanding a salary increase, while the German carrier announced a net profit of 1.67 million on Thursday.
“We must unfortunately assume that management wants the situation to get worse to the detriment of passengers,” said union leader Joachim Vazquez Bürger. For several months, Germany has been hit by a wave of strikes in various sectors, including transport and railway operator Deutsche Bahn.
