  • LSG Group Labor Dispute Escalating in Key US Market
    1 October 2019 Michael Hachey Deputy Director, Research (703) 344-4778 UNITEHERE! [email protected] LSG Group labor dispute escalating in key US market Summary As Deutsche Lufthansa AG (DLAKF) is negotiating a partial or complete sale of LSG group, labor troubles in its airline catering business segment are mounting in the key US market. • LSG Sky Chefs and North American labor union UNITE HERE are far apart on economic issues in ongoing contract negotiations covering all US employees • Tightness in the US labor market and political pressure could drive wages and benefits costs higher • US employees of LSG Sky Chefs voted to authorize strikes and petitioned for release from federal mediation which, if granted, would enable them to strike • North America is LSG Sky Chefs’ largest market, accounting for 53% of external catering revenue in first half-year of 2019 Labor and Management are Far Apart in Ongoing US Labor Negotiations The Master National Agreement with North American labor union UNITE HERE, which covers all of LSG Sky Chefs’ 11,162 employees in the US, is currently amendable. UNITE HERE proposed a $15/hour minimum wage floor, higher annual raises for all employees, and increased spending on health benefits, which Sky Chefs rejected. Currently, hourly wages range from $8.40 - $28.50 with 57% of employees earning less than $15. Workers pay expensive premiums for health insurance, at a cost of over $500/month for family coverage. As of 2018, only 34% of LSG Sky Chefs’ US employees had any employer-provided health insurance coverage and only 9% had coverage for a family member or child.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE BOARD yours sincerely, DEAR READER, In 2015, we continued to benefit from growing passenger volumes around the globe, albeit with regional fluctuations. As a result, demand for inflight services also grew, not only in terms of volume but in the level of quality catering provided for the network carriers’ premium classes. At the same time, we saw a significant upward trend in the number of requests for onboard-retail programs designed for their economy classes, as well as low-cost and charter airlines. In light of market changes in the more mature markets, we have also begun the transformation of our business model. This includes organizational changes in order to better respond to customers requiring leaner and more efficient services, as well as the acquisition of Retail inMotion, which enhances our skills and widens our portfolio in the increasingly important onboard-retail area. In addition, our adjacent market teams were able to further pursue their path of expansion by winning a number of high-profile train operators and convenience retailers as new customers.
