Deutsche Lufthansa AG is in tense negotiations with pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) over a new collective salary agreement. The union is reportedly considering strike action if Lufthansa does not meet its demands for a significant pay increase and better working conditions.
A strike could lead to flight cancellations, reputational damage and substantial financial losses, creating significant uncertainty for the airline. Investors are watching the negotiations closely. A failure to reach an agreement could weigh heavily on the company’s performance in the coming months.
The stock has faced slight downward pressure amid market nervousness.
