Lufthansas krise uddybes: Jubilæumsprotester og CityLine-lukning

Billede genereret af AI

På sit 100-års jubilæum stod Lufthansa over for protester fra hundredvis af kabinepersonale og piloter i Frankfurt Lufthavn på grund af langvarige arbejdsmarkedskonflikter, hvilket faldt sammen med den pludselige nedlukning af datterselskabet CityLine midt under igangværende strejker.

Hundredvis af Lufthansas kabineansatte og piloter, iført gule veste, marcherede langs Frankfurt Lufthavns ringvej, mens de råbte 'Wir sind Lufthansa.' Plakater proklamerede 'Sklaverei – für faire Arbeitsbedingungen' og viste en scene fra et kabysområde, hvor ansatte roede, mens ledelsen pressede citroner.

Demonstrationerne fandt sted uden for konferencecentret 'Hangar One', hvor ledelsen fejrede milepælen. Deltagere, herunder kansler Friedrich Merz, hyldede flyselskabets århundrede lange historie. Administrerende direktør Carsten Spohr roste 'fantastischen Mitarbeitern mit viel Leidenschaft.' Det føderale kriminalpoliti havde sikret en bred sikkerhedszone.

Et medlem af kabinepersonalet beklagede: 'Da feiert sich das Management. Wir, die das Unternehmen zu dem gemacht haben, was es heute ist, werden nicht gefeiert.' Konflikter med personalet hos Lufthansa Airlines og Cargo har varet i årevis og centrerer sig om pensioner, løn og arbejdsforhold. Dette følger tidligere spændinger, herunder en afstemning om pilotstrejke i CityLine i februar med 99 % tilslutning efter mislykkede lønforhandlinger, midt i en omstrukturering, hvor det nye datterselskab City Airlines har overtaget driften.

I en markant optrapning opsagde Lufthansa Classic sin kontrakt med føderingsdatterselskabet CityLine. Et internt notat, som rapporteret af Handelsblatt, annoncerede øjeblikkelig indstilling af al drift.

Hvad folk siger

Debatten på X om Lufthansas uddybende krise fokuserer på chokket over CityLines øjeblikkelige lukning, der påvirker 2000 medarbejdere midt i stigende brændstofomkostninger og strejker. Protester fra hundredvis af kabineansatte og piloter i Frankfurt Lufthavn overskyggede 100-års jubilæumsfestlighederne, herunder en demonstration mod kansler Merz' besøg. Holdningerne er delte: sympati for medarbejdernes krav om løn og arbejdsforhold, frustration fra passagerer over massive flyaflysninger, kritik af fagforeninger for at time strejker til jubilæet, samt synspunkter om, at det er symptomatisk for den tyske økonomiske nedgang.
