Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Kevin McNamara (Labour), on Tuesday, 20 July 1999, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 45 members in total.


LUFTHANSA SKYCHEFS

That this House notes with concern that 270 Lufthansa Skychefs workers have been locked out for seven months following their sacking on 20th November 1998 within hours of a one-day strike; condemns the failure of the senior management of LSG Lufthansa Service Holding AG, a major subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, to deliver a resolution to the dispute despite accepting moral responsibility for the dispute in April 1999; condemns the fact that Lufthansa's only offer in talks with the Transport and General Workers Union is that the 270 sacked workers could apply for six vacancies; supports the union's campaign to secure reinstatement of the 270 Lufthansa Skychefs workers; and urges honourable Members not to travel on Lufthansa Airlines until the dispute is fully resolved.
