Various German national media outlets, including ARD and n-tv, reported on labor strikes and the associated ballot conducted by UFO e.V., the union representing flight attendants. With a high five digit number of voters, UFO e.V. achieved an unprecedented turnout of 96% for their vote. We interviewed UFO to learn how they reached this milestone and how NemoVote contributed to this success.
About UFO e.V.: Germany’s Union for Flight Attendants
The Independent Flight Attendant Organization (UFO) is Germany’s professional union representing the labor rights and collective bargaining interests of over 30,000 flight attendants nationwide. Dedicated to fair working conditions and wage negotiations, UFO advocates for the interests of cabin crews across the airline industry.
Why a Digital Vote with NemoVote?
The recent ballot was necessary after months of wage negotiations with Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cityline failed to produce an acceptable result. As stipulated in the UFO’s charter, a member ballot is required in the event of prolonged labor disputes, which was conducted digitally due to members’ frequently changing locations. The flexibility of a digital solution allowed every member to participate regardless of their location.
Key Features of NemoVote that Convinced UFO
UFO evaluated multiple providers before ultimately selecting NemoVote for its well-balanced price-performance ratio and personal approach. “NemoVote is led by a young, dynamic team that listened to our needs and offered us tailored, transparent voting solutions,” explains Sylvia De La Cruz, Head of Project Management at UFO e.V.
