Repetitive Lufthansa Strikes Taking a Toll on Travelers and Carrier

It seems that labor strikes at Lufthansa has become a new normal.  Yet again, this time cabin crew union announced a strike that will affect mostly short-haul flights.  Another strike is also scheduled for next week.  There has been several labor issues that resulted in major travel disruptions in 2014 and 2015.  The airline and its unions cannot seem to agree on anything and travelers pay the price.

It has been a tough year for Lufthansa which suffered a tragedy earlier this year with the German Wings crash, multiple strikes and the dreaded surcharge that penalizes the distribution system (travel agencies) if they do not book directly on the group's website.
