It's not only the cabin crew. Verdi also represent the pilots.
It's not particularly about money either - although money is always important!
It is about easyjet having to be dragged kicking and screaming into compiance with German Labour Law,which as some will know requires a lot of information sharing and co-determination. This is anathema to easyjet management who seem to think they can bully the local employees into signing away or not pursuing their rights.
This often results in easyjet being taken to court, where they lose.
In a recent brush with the German legal system easyjet disputed a verdi lawyers fee that they were required to pay. The judgement - easyjet were ordered to pay triple the original fee. That is not the sort of judgement handed down against a litigant who is seen to be being reasonable.
