GERMAN pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) has called an all-day strike for Tuesday at Lufthansa's long-haul and cargo flights, increasing pressure on management in a long-running dispute over pay, retirement benefits and cost cuts.

The union said on Monday the strike, the 13th walkout in 18 months, would affect all long-haul passenger flights and all cargo flights out of Germany from 0600 GMT to 2159 GMT on Tuesday.
