Lufthansa pilots to hold eight-hour strike on Tuesday

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Lufthansa (DE:LHAG) pilots will hold an eight-hour strike on Tuesday, union Vereinigung Cockpit said on Monday.

The strike on Tuesday will run from 0700-1500 GMT, the union said, adding that there will be no long-haul flights from Frankfurt.
