Munich Airport strike causes hundreds of flight cancellations
dw.com —
A two-day strike by the Verdi union has led to hundreds of flight cancellations at Munich Airport, Germany's second-largest. The strike, affecting ground crew and security staff, is set to last until midnight on Friday. The union demands an 8% pay increase, higher bonuses for stressful jobs, and more days off. Only 100 of 830 scheduled flights were expected to operate on Thursday. Additionally, the strike has halted cargo traffic at Hamburg's port, affecting transfer boats for large container ships. Ship traffic may resume on Friday if the strike is not extended.
