The travel of 510 thousand passengers is disrupted .. 11 airport outside the service in Germany due to strikes

Strikes were carried out in 11 main airports in Germany after midnight on Sunday – where the Verde Syndicate called on public service employees, ground service and aviation security personnel to the strike for 24 hours in two separate wages.

Strikes will also be organized in the facilities run by the federal government and local authorities during this week, according to a union spokesman.

The third round of wage negotiations in Botsdam, near Berlin, will be held next Friday.

The strike aims to paralyze air transport in most parts of Germany, as the German Airports Association expects to cancel more than 3,400 flights, which will cause the travel of 510,000 passengers according to the planned schedule.

The public sector strike, which has been planned since Friday, will participate in the air security sector, including passenger inspection, monitoring individuals, goods and shipments, as well as in the service areas.

A new collective business agreement is being negotiated for them, as the next round of negotiations has been determined on March 26 and 27.
According to the German Air traffic controller, about 6 thousand flights are taking place daily at German airports, along with 3,000 other flights that cross the German airspace.

The Verdi Syndicate called on public sector employees and ground services workers, including cleaning workers, luggage loading, and fuel-providing aircraft at major airports, including Frankfurt (the largest airports in Germany), Munich, Shattgart, Cologne/Bonn, Dusseldorf, Dortmund, Hanover, Berimin, Hamburg, Berlin-Brandenburg, And no

At the airports of Vitsa and Carrings/Baden-Baden, workers in the aviation security sector were invited only to strike.

And no traveler will be able to board the plane at Frankfurt Airport, the busiest airport in Germany, and almost certain that transit flights are affected, according to the airport operating company, “Farrabort”. Frankfurt workers are scheduled to organize a protest community during the day.

Today, Monday, 1170 flights were taken off with a total of about 150,000 passengers.

Airport operators urged passengers not to go to travel halls. A spokesman for Lufthansa said that the airline is working on a alternative schedule.

Verdi calls for an increase of wages by 8%, an increase of at least 350 euros (380 dollars) per month, in addition to an additional three days of leave for a total of 2.5 million workers. Employers have not yet made any offer.

The strike has already struck Cologne/Bon, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and UNING airports, which resulted in the abolition of many flights and affected 800,000 passengers.

Joachim Lang, President of the Air Transport Federation in Germany, has described the strikes as inconsistent.

“The entire transport department is being closed comprehensively, while airports and airlines, as well as restaurants, retail stores and hotels are not a party to the agreement,” Lang said. A collective negotiating conflict is taking place at the expense of travelers, even before the next round of negotiations began. ”(Sky News)
