German union says it has reached wage deal with Lufthansa for ground staff

Verdi and Lufthansa reached a collective bargaining agreement covering more than 20,000 ground staff after four rounds of negotiations. The settlement removes a near-term strike risk for Lufthansa's ground operations, supporting operational continuity at German hubs. Impact is modestly positive for Lufthansa equity and short-term revenue stability but unlikely to move broader markets.
