Lufthansa and UFO agree on long-term collective pay agreement for cabin crew
Key points: substantial wage increases over the
next three years, inflation compensation and holiday pay supplement for
Lufthansa Airlines cabin crew
Chief Human Resources Officer Michael Niggemann:
"The agreement that has now been reached is good news for passengers,
employees and Lufthansa."
Lufthansa and the trade union UFO have agreed on a
new collective labor agreement for the approximately 19,000 cabin crew of
Lufthansa Airlines[1].
The core of the agreement is a wage increase totaling 16.5 per cent (with
interest effect 17.4 per cent) in several steps over the next three years. The
collective labor agreement is valid until at least the end of 2026 and comes
with a corresponding peace obligation.
Dr. Michael Niggemann, Chief Human Resources
Officer and Labor Director of Deutsche Lufthansa AG:
"I am very pleased about the agreement with
our collective bargaining partner UFO – for our colleagues in the cabin, who do
an outstanding job every day, and also for our guests, who finally have
planning security again in this regard when flying with Lufthansa. Our goal has
always been to find a solution at the negotiating table together with the
union. We have now succeeded in doing so. At the same time, the agreed salary
developments in all professional groups are also an economic challenge that we
now have to deal with."
The new collective agreement in detail:
·
Full
inflation compensation premium of 3,000 euros net (part-time pro rata) as soon
as possible
·
Table
increases: 8 per cent as of May 2024; a further 5 per cent as of March 2025 and
