The Frankfurt employees of the Lufthansa Cargo subsidiary Handling Counts have been called on by the Verdi union to go on a three-day warning strike since Wednesday morning. The employee representatives want to increase the pressure on management.
The company on strike is a cargo service provider, so there will be no impact on passenger flights. However, there are delays with the freight. About 80 percent of the workforce is said to have participated in the last warning strike.
The background to the industrial action is that negotiations on a collective wage agreement are deadlocked. Among other things, Verdi is demanding more wages for the approximately 200 employees.
