German airline Lufthansa make new agreement with union Ver.di for salary increase. Around 20,000 ground staff will get benefit from this deal.
Agreement say workers will get total 4.6% salary increase in two time. First 2.2% from January 1, then extra 2.4% from March 2027. But Lufthansa AG ground staff will wait one year more for first increase because company have economic problem.
This contract will continue 26 months until February 2028. Company say this long agreement give stability in difficult global situation. Union also say workers happy because they get around 220 euro more every month.
Good news, strike risk for ground staff now almost finish this year. But still problem not fully over. Pilots union Vereinigung Cockpit and cabin crew still can make strike. Before, many flights cancelled because of strikes.
So, situation little better now, but Lufthansa still not 100% safe from strike.
