LUFTHANSA and the union that represents the majority of their cabin crews, ‘UFO’, have both expressed optimism after recent negotiations.
Initially the union had given Lufthansa until September 1 to propose acceptable solutions to the dispute, but thanks to the success of the negotiations the deadline has been moved back to November 1. According to comments from LH and the union, it appears that they have found common ground on several issues, yet have a few more to resolve.
With this recent development and the fact that the Pilot’s union is also satisfied with the current pace of negotiations, it appears that strike threats have been eliminated for the coming months.

The union representing Lufthansa’s Cabin Crews has announced that due to the constructive negotiations that continue to take place with LH, there is little to no threat of strikes in the foreseeable future.
Previously, the union had set a loose target of mid to late July to assess the potential for strikes.
This comes as welcomed news since their Pilot colleagues who are in their own labor negotiations are optimistic as well that negotiations can continue without the need for strikes.
The unions will be meeting with LH’s executive board in the first week of August to discuss progress.
For us passengers, it looks like strike-free travel should be in place through the end of summer.

Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) has approached Lufthansa with an offer for new negotiations regarding the ongoing dispute over the retirement benefits for pilots.
Once LH has a chance to review the latest offers coming from the Union, dates will be set for continuing negotiations.
At least for the next several weeks, the threat of strikes by the pilots has disappeared.
