Gold soars to record high over $3,900/oz amid yen slump, US rate cut bets
Investing.com -- Lufthansa pilots have voted overwhelmingly in favor of strike action in a pension dispute, adding to the German carrier’s labor challenges.
The pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) announced Tuesday that a "vast majority" of its members supported the walkout, though no timeline for the industrial action has been specified yet.
This labor dispute comes just a day after Lufthansa revealed plans to eliminate 4,000 administrative positions by 2030 as part of broader cost-cutting measures. The company also established higher profitability targets in its Monday announcement.
The airline has faced numerous workforce conflicts in recent years while attempting to reduce expenses and pursue growth strategies. This latest development with the pilots’ union represents another hurdle in Lufthansa’s ongoing efforts to restructure its operations.
