Lufthansa fails to block escalation of pilot strike
Action can proceed and is not disproportionate, rules judge at Frankfurt labour court
Frankfurt
DEUTSCHE Lufthansa AG's attempt to block an escalation of this week's pilot strike that pushed it to cancel more than 1,000 flights was dismissed by a Frankfurt court.
The strike can proceed and is not disproportionate, Gesine Brackert, a judge at the Frankfurt labour court, said on Tuesday. The airline has appealed the decision and the Hessian state labour court had scheduled a hearing on it for 10:30am Frankfurt time on Wednesday.
