Germany Braces For Lufthansa Strike - NYTimes.com

Germany is bracing for a four-day strike at flagship airline Lufthansa from Monday that threatens to disrupt travel to and from Europe's biggest economy.

Lufthansa's pilots plan to go on strike in a row over pay and job security, fearing the company could try to cut staff costs by shifting jobs to foreign subsidiaries such as Austrian Airlines or Lufthansa Italia, where wages are lower.

German economy minister Peter Ramsauer demanded both parties restart negotiations to avert a strike after talks were halted on Friday.
