In Germany on March 10, a massive strike of ground -based employees at 13 airports, organized by the Verdi trade union, began. The strike will last 24 hours and has already led to the abolition of thousands of flights. This is reported by Bild. It is noted that at the Berlin-Brandenburg airport, all planned flights are canceled. Passengers are asked to contact the airline for information on the return of money, transfer or alternative routes. More than 1170 flights were canceled in Frankfurt, which touched about 150 thousand passengers. They were recommended not to come to the airport at all, since the service was almost completely stopped. Most of the planned 820 flights were canceled in Munich, but about 170 flights will still take place. Passengers warn of possible delays and ask to monitor updates. Also serious malfunctions are noted at the airports of Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Stuttgart. In Hamburg, the strike began on Sunday and caused chaos. In Dusseldorf and Cologne, hundreds of flights are also under threat of cancellation.

The Verdi trade union requires an increase in salaries for employees of ground service by 8% (at least 350 euros per month), increase the allowance for work in difficult conditions and the provision of three additional weekends. Employers consider these requirements unacceptable due to high financial burden. Recall that Boeing employees went on strike, demanding an increase in salaries. The strike led to the suspension of production aircraft of models 737, 777 and 767. Later, Boeing workers completed the strike, having achieved a salary of 38%.
