Lufthansa and the UFO union agree on new part-time collective agreement
Good
news for Lufthansa Airlines cabin crew - and therefore also for passengers:
Lufthansa and the UFO union have agreed on a new part-time collective
agreement. The relevant committees on both sides have already given their
approval. The collective agreement will come into force retroactively from
January 1, 2025.
The
new collective agreement unites the interests of cabin staff and Lufthansa
Airlines: further developed rules lead to more reliable planning for employees
and improve the work-life balance. Conversely, Lufthansa Airlines benefits from
the associated long-term and needs-based personnel planning for part-time work.
The new collective agreement also helps to simplify internal regulations.
Michael
Niggemann, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG responsible
for Human Resources & Legal: “We are pleased that we were able to agree on
this new part-time collective agreement after an intensive negotiation process
with the UFO trade union. Once again, this shows that focus and an
interest-oriented approach lead to good solutions. As a result, the new
collective agreement increases flexibility for our cabin staff at Lufthansa
Airlines, but also helps us to respond even better to the seasonal market
demand of our customers.
