Two -day warning strike at Munich Airport: 80% of the flights are canceled!

A massive warning strike of the Verdi union meets Munich Airport on Thursday and Friday. Over 80 percent of the flights are expected to fail, which means that more than 1,300 machines will not start or land as planned. The warning strike begins on Thursday at midnight and ends on Friday at midnight and has far-reaching episodes for travelers who want to go to Germany on these days, such as OE24 reported . The airlines, including Lufthansa, have already set up a special flight schedule to counteract possible effects after the strike.

currently experts assume that most of the 1,600 planned flights have to be deleted at Munich Airport, which will lead to considerable delays and inconvenience for passengers, such as tz reported . Verdi called up the employees of the public service and the employees of the ground traffic services to strike to put pressure on the municipalities and the federal government. The aim is wage increases of eight percent and three additional free days. The airport recommends the passengers to find out about the status before their flight, while Lufthansa offers free rebookings or cancellations for affected flights.

The Verdi union carries out this warning strike to draw attention to the stagnant collective bargaining in which the demands for better working conditions for around 2.5 million employees in the public service were not met. These decisive negotiations have failed and a third round is planned for mid -March. So far, grants or offers have been lacking, which is why Verdi is forced to increase the pressure through strikes.
