German Easyjet crews already on strike
Berlin - A two-hour strike Thursday by Easyjet flight deck and cabin staff at Berlin's Schoenefeld Airport disrupted flights to Rome, London and other European cities, airport staff said.
The German staff are demanding that the company recognize a workers' council incorporated under German law. British-based Easyjet refuses to deal the panel representing 300 Germans, according to the ver.di trade union.
Easyjet criticized the protest, saying it was in talks on the subject and would be offering its staff German employment contracts soon. Some 50 staff took part in the stoppage, which ended at 9 am Central European time (0800 GMT).
