COLOGNE (dpa-AFX) -The cabin crews of the airline Eurowings employed in Germany receive more money. The Verdi union and the Lufthansa DE0008232125 subsidiary have agreed on salary increases of between 10.8 and 14.4 percent for flight attendants over a period of 19 months. The increases will follow in two steps, the first of which will be retroactive to December 1, 2023.
As both sides announced on Monday, according to the collective agreement there should also be a one-time inflation compensation bonus of 2,000 euros. In addition, the lowest paid entry level was eliminated and an additional level was added at the top of the pay scale. The agreement only applies to the German subsidiary of Eurowings and still requires the approval of the Verdi members.
At another subsidiary, Lufthansa Cityline, Verdi’s competitor union UFO has demanded 15 percent more money for a term of 18 months. A one-off payment of 3,000 euros and the end of the second, low tariff band are also among the demands that were submitted to the management. UFO collective bargaining officer Rachid Madmar justified it on Monday, among other things, with wage restraint in recent years. This Tuesday is also the second round of negotiations for the ground staff of various Lufthansa companies represented by Verdi.
