No warning strike at airberlin

airberlin and the pilots’ union Cockpit have today reached a basic agreement on the essential principles of the wage negotiations. Flights operated by Germany’s second largest airline will therefore not be subject to any restrictions, since the previously announced warning strikes will not take place.

The parties involved in the wage negotiations will set down the detailed provisions of the wage agreement over the coming two weeks.
