GERMAN airline Lufthansa said on Sunday it was keen on moving ahead in wage negotiations for thousands of ground crew after labor union Verdi demanded the company offers a higher pay increase aimed at averting more strike action.
“We have taken note of Verdi’s statements and are still interested in a quick agreement,” a company spokesperson said in a written reply to an inquiry.
Ground staff walked off the job at major airports on Tuesday in their second strike this month, which Lufthansa said had affected 100 000 passengers. – reuters
