Lufthansa has published details of the new collective agreement. Ground staff will receive up to 18 percent more pay in the future.

Ver.di calls the result “historic,” and the airline speaks of a “major economic challenge.” The agreement averted further strikes among ground staff. The employees had stopped work several times in recent weeks to put the company under pressure. Many Lufthinsa flights were canceled, meaning around 100,000 travelers had to change their plans each time.
