Lufthansa cabin crew union calls for strike, following a separate pilots' strike in progress.

Cabin crew last struck on Friday, ​resulting in the cancellation of hundreds ​of flights. The union cited deadlock in a collective bargaining dispute. Even after Friday's strike, "the union sees ​no sufficient movement on the ​part of the employers," it said. Lufthansa board member ‌Michael ⁠Niggemann said in reaction to the strike plans that the union is "completely indifferent to the fate of our ​passengers and ​the future ⁠of Lufthansa". Pilots struck on Monday and plan to do ​so again on Tuesday, affecting ​tens ⁠of thousands of passengers. Friday (10th of April) to Thursday (16th of April) mark consecutive days of striking by different Lufthansa unions, grounding the airline. Lufthansa and the Vereinigung Cockpit Pilots' Union are at ​odds over a company pension scheme ​for pilots, while the UFO Cabin Crew union demands better pay, improved working conditions, and a social plan for 800 staff at the CityLine subsidiary.
