FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Pilots at Lufthansa’s budget airline Eurowings plan to go on a three-day strike on Monday after talks failed, pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) said on Friday.

A one-day strike earlier this month saw Eurowings operate at half capacity, affecting around 30,000 passengers.

The union wants Eurowings to ease pilots’ workloads by, for example, increasing their rest periods.

A Eurowings board member, Kai Duve, said in a statement earlier this month that the demands endangered the viability of the airline.
