    Lufthansa seeks injunction on pilot strikes

    Lufthansa seeks injunction on pilot strikes
  • Lufthansa pilots announced yet another upcoming strike on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    Following this decision, Lufthansa approached a court in Munich to place a temporary injunction on the planned strikes.

    Viewpoints of the parties
  • VC rejected the offer put forth by Lufthansa stating that the airline "has refused to put forward an offer that can at least form the basis of a negotiation."

    Chief executive of Lufthansa Carsten Spohr said that VC's demands are threatening the future of Lufthansa.

    "There is no more leeway for even better offers when escalation is wanted, opposed to a solution," he said.
