BERLIN, Germany – A leading German pilots’ union has called a new walkout at Lufthansa starting Monday, October 20, in an ongoing dispute over retirement benefits.

Lufthansa pilots can currently take paid early retirement from the age of 55. They are fighting a plan by the airline to raise the minimum age and to involve pilots in the financing of their pensions. – Rappler.com
