Germany’s new tax decree is forcing Lufthansa flight attendants who rely on standby tickets to commute to work to pay hundreds of euros more in taxes each month.
Lufthansa Cabin Crew Strike
Lufthansa flights face major disruption as pilots and cabin crew stage a coordinated strike across Germany, grounding services and affecting thousands of travelers.
Lufthansa pays its most junior crop of cabin crew a salary starting from €2,375 (approx. US$2,800) per month.
