Not true, Lufthansa did issue a rebooking waiver (below). As the next strike is now confirmed for Tuesday you can expect the waiver to be extended, check the LH website tomorrow or later tonight.

I was affected by the strike on Friday and the rebooking went smoothly via LH reservations on the phone (and Twitter) but only on flights with LH family airlines. The only reason why I went to the airport was to pick up the hotel voucher

As a sign of courtesy, all passengers with Lufthansa tickets issued before 31 August 2012 for Lufthansa operated flights (even if not cancelled) departing before Monday, 3 September 2012, 11:59 p.m. (German local time) are entitled to one rebooking onto alternate flights by Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines or Swiss free of charge. New travel must occur before 30 November 2012. Origin and destination cannot be changed.
