		</div><p>Pilots at German carrier Lufthansa will stage a two-day strike from Wednesday unless the company makes a “serious” offer in talks over pay, a union has said.</p>
<p>It would be the second strike in a week after pilots staged a walkout on Friday which led to hundreds of flights being cancelled.</p>
<p>The Vereinigung Cockpit union has called for a 5.5% pay rise for its members this year and an inflation-busting 8.2% increase in 2023.</p>
<p>Pilots are also seeking a new pay and holiday structure.</p>
<p>The airline said those measures would increase its staffing costs by about 40%, or around 900 million euros (£776.4 million) over two years.</p>
<p>It has instead offered a one-off increase of 900 euros (£776), amounting to a 5% increase for senior pilots and an 18% increase for those starting the profession.</p>
<p>Lufthansa’s personnel chief Michael Niggemann accused the union of seeking to escalate the dispute.</p>
<p>“We will nevertheless do everything to achieve success with an improved offer despite the time pressure,” he said.</p>
<p>Strong unions have traditionally ensured good conditions for workers in Germany, using strikes to press their demands in labour disputes.</p>
