Lufthansa pilots have halted the strike


Lufthansa pilots have halted the strike
On Monday, less than 24 hours after it began, the union suspended the strike, agreeing to resume negotiations. A spokesman for the union said Lufthansa and the union had reached an agreement after a hearing at a Frankfurt court, where Lufthansa had filed an injunction against the union, calling the strike "disproportionate." The strike is to be officially lifted at midnight Monday, although it's unclear when operations will return to normal. While not ruling out future action, the union agreed not to strike again until at least March 9.
