My question is directed to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, I again refer to the AWA of Lufthansa subsidiary Global and to confidential internal documents associated with the AWA. Isn’t it the case that, on Global’s own calculation, Global employees face reductions in their base salary of between three per cent and 10 per cent when they sign the AWA? Isn’t it also the case that, again on Global’s calculation, the change to penalty rates means employees face, on average, a reduction in their take-home pay of 4.9 per cent when they sign this AWA?
