Lufthansa pilots vote to go on four-day strike

Frankfurt/New Delhi: Pilots at German airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG voted Wednesday to go on a four-day strike over wages and potential plans to move jobs to lower-paying subsidiaries, the union said. It is unclear if the India operations will be hit as a result. Lufthansa India said could not offer any immediate comments.
The pilots’ Vereinigung Cockpit union said the strike will begin midnight Monday and that at least 90% of the members from Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo and the airline’s subsidiary Germanwings voted to strike.
Lufthansa in a statement said the strike is unreasonable and would greatly hurt the company, workers and customers.
