Lufthansa: drastic reduction in jobs

Lufthansa announced that, after shareholder approval for bailout and assistance from Austrian and Swiss governments, group financing is guaranteed.

No entanto, as a good thing never comes alone, cost reduction is required, since the repayment of credit and interest to the State will weigh on the company's results in the coming years.

Thus, after having already reduced the number of members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of Deutsche Lufthansa, the group will now also have to reduce the management of the Lufthansa Cargo subsidiaries, LSG e Lufthansa Aviation Training, for just one post.

Ou seja, German airline will cut 1.000 administrative jobs and reduce by 20% management positions across the group.

In Lufthansa consider, no entanto, who has an excess of 22.000 full-time employees due to the crisis, but says he wants to avoid forced dismissals. In this sense, it is negotiating with the Verdi and Cockpit unions, on savings measures, after reaching an agreement with the flight attendants.
