The technical warning strike is not over yet; the Verdi union at Lufthansa is calling on the next group of ground workers.
This time it's the cargo that's hit.
Frankfurt/Main - In the collective bargaining dispute among Lufthansa's ground staff, the Verdi union is once again tightening its pace.
It has called on around 2,500 collective bargaining employees at the freight subsidiary Lufthansa Cargo to go on a warning strike on Saturday, as negotiator Marvin Reschinsky announced on Friday.
The three-day warning strike at the various technology companies was supposed to end at midnight.
The trade unionist explained that the passenger area would once again be spared.
“The strikes are intended to create economic pressure and not primarily to affect passengers.” Lufthansa must return to the negotiating table with an improved offer.
Lufthansa has already sharply criticized the technical warning strike and called for quick negotiations.
Specifically, the company wanted to resume talks early on Monday.
So far, the next round of negotiations is scheduled for March 13th and 14th.
According to both sides, the impact of the technology strike that started on Wednesday on passenger traffic was small.
The cargo employees, who primarily work at the Frankfurt hub, should stop work on Saturday from 6 a.m. to 11:10 p.m.
According to Verdi, there are still large backlogs in the freight business from the two previous waves of warning strikes.
