Air Malta takes over as Lufthansa cancels Frankfurt flight
Lufthansa has cancelled its scheduled flight from Frankfurt tomorrow because of industrial action, but Air Malta has offered to fly the passengers instead, informed sources said. The two airlines have a code-sharing agreement for the route.
The German flag-carrier was forced to cancel almost all domestic and European flights from six airports due to a strike. The Verdi trade union called on the airline's 33,000 workers to go on strike to increase pressure on the airline in a dispute over wages and job security.

And where is the solidarity with the poor passengers who would otherwise be stranded. Air Malta taking over one flight is not going to jeoperdise any union agreement . In any case , what is the point of a strike other than bullying tactics by the union ?

Where is the justification and why would Air Malta get involved? And how do you know that the union members are socialists? The strike is probably over a local trade dispute rather than trying to build a workers paradise.

Are you under the impression that only socialists go on strike?
