The Lufthansa strike on Wednesday (June 27) paralyzed countless flights at many airports. Read here how you can get your money as a victim:
In the middle of the holiday season, the trade union ver.di called on around 20,000 Lufthansa ground staff to go on a 24-hour warning strike. Background are the deadlocked collective bargaining. The union demands 9.5 percent more salary for the employees, but at least 350 euros per month. Lufthansa rejects this, and now a one-day warning strike is supposed to bring momentum back into the collective bargaining talks – with chaotic consequences.
HEIDELBERG24 reveals how disputed Lufthansa customers get their money.
Almost all Lufthansa flights are canceled at Frankfurt Airport alone. For many passengers, this means delayed flights or no flights at all. It is all the more important to know your passenger rights in advance and to react correctly in an emergency. The reason: If a flight is late or cancelled, passengers are generally entitled to compensation. And depending on the flight route, it can be up to 600 euros. (jsn)
