In a nutshell, LOT's flight and cabin crews, upset at Company mismanagement and unfair employment practices (LOT, a State-owned flag carrier, recruits pilots and cabin crew on [bogus] self-employed contracts, called "B2B" :*) are now in their 6th day of strike. Flight crew also have issues about being sometimes pressured to fly with open MEL items, and a general lack of maintenance foresight resulting in many aircraft being routinely grounded awaiting parts.
LOT Management's answer would make Michael O'Leary jealous: they fired the union representative, then a number of flight crew for going on strike - in defiance of a judge's injunction which found the strike to be legal. Faced with 19th-century-style strong-arm tactics, more crew have now joined the strike.
Meanwhile, a number of flights (both short- and long-haul) have been cancelled:

Cheers :cool:
