"Joachim Vazquez Buerger, president of the UFO union for cabin crew, described the move as 'a massive additional provocation' that would 'worsen' the disputes over working conditions."
"'However, if nothing adequate comes, then there's nothing left for a union to do but to call further strikes,' he said."
"Pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit charged that Gernandt's comments showed a 'lack of seriousness'."
"Vazquez Buerger said that Gernandt 'must seriously ask himself whether the course pursued by management, consisting in attacking its own staff in this dispute with such harshness, is in the investors' interest.'"
Lufthansa's management is in a deepening conflict with its workforce, marked by a week of strikes that resulted in hundreds of flight cancellations. The pilots' strike and walkouts by cabin crews have prompted the company to accelerate savings plans, including closing CityLine. Union leaders have criticized management's approach, calling it provocative and detrimental to working conditions. While a pause in strikes has been announced to allow for negotiations, unions warn that further strikes may occur if no satisfactory offers are made. Tensions remain high as unions respond to management's comments regarding their strike actions.
