A union representing pilots at German airline Lufthansa
says months of talks aimed at resolving a long-running labor dispute have ended
with no results.
The Cockpit union staged 13 walkouts between April 2014
and late 2015 before a court issued an injunction ordering a halt to the
strikes. Since the beginning of this year, the two sides had been holding talks
to resolve the situation.
Cockpit said Friday that the talks on "sustainable
job perspectives" are over and accused Lufthansa management of having
"no interest in a solution." It didn't specify whether it was
considering renewed strikes.
The dispute comes as Lufthansa restructures to meet
increasing competition from Gulf airlines. The pilots want the airline to keep
making transition payments for those seeking early retirement.
