Eurowings Union Calls Off Strikes

Eurowings cabin crew union UFO has called off plans to strike this week and proposed arbitration to end its dispute with the airline.

Talks between UFO and the Lufthansa subsidiary ended on Sunday with no agreement reached, but the union wrote to the airline on Monday offering talks “under the direction of Matthias Platzeck”.

Platzeck, a former premier of Brandenburg, was involved in arbitrating a dispute between Lufthansa and UFO in July this year.

Cabin crew at Eurowings and sister airline Germanwings walked out on Thursday, causing the cancellation of around 400 flights.
