The German union employed at the airports called on the strike today, with complete suspension of flights planned in Berlin, in the middle of the tense salary negotiations in the sector, the AFP writes, Beta.
Nearly 3,400 flights today will be canceled, which will affect half a million passengers.
“There will be huge restrictions for departure and arrivals, probably including flights cancellation,” says the Verdi union statement.
Berlin-Brandenburg Airport announced on Friday that today will stop working completely due to the strike.
In Frankfurt, the largest German airport, the operational company Frapport warned that no passenger would be able to board, which will “almost certainly” influence international flights, he transferred the Bild.
The strike will also be at the airports in Munich, Bremen, Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Leipzig and Stuttgart.
Nearly 5,000 airport workers and 23,000 employees for the provision of various services at the airports were invited to strike, stated their union, Transfers Alaser.
Workers are invited to interrupt work in the midday salary negotiations and working conditions, and the next round of negotiations is scheduled for the middle of March.
“Employers have not yet given the offer in the context of collective negotiations that are underway and did not show their readiness to respond to our requirements,” Verdi said, which requires an increase in salaries for eight percent and bonuses.
