German cabin-crew union UFO called for more strikes at Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s low-cost Germanwings unit after the two sides failed to settle a long-running dispute. Workers at Germanwings, which now operates under the Eurowings umbrella, will strike between December 30th and January 1st, the union said. “We had hoped up until the last minute to be able to bring better news today,” union representative Daniel Flohr said in the YouTube video announcing the plan. “We have no choice now but to defend our interests through strike action.”The Germanwings brand was folded into Lufthansa’s Eurowings group after a deadly 2015 crash. A Lufthansa representative said the company will inform travellers whether their flights are affected by the strike action.
