Warnstreik puts Düsseldorf and Cologne Lahm - passengers have to wait!

Warnstreik puts Düsseldorf and Cologne Lahm - passengers have to wait!

On Monday, the airports Düsseldorf and Cologne, important traffic hubs for flights to Austria, threaten to be paralyzed considerably by warning strikes. The Verdi union called up the public service employees to comprehensive work. In Düsseldorf, the strikes are scheduled to begin early Monday morning, while the measures in Cologne start late Sunday evening. Passengers have to adapt to "extensive effects on passenger flights", as Verdi announced.

Particularly affected are employees who are responsible for the suitcase transport, check-in or filling water in the aircraft. Verdi assumes that little air traffic will take place on Monday, but the security controls are not affected, so that flight safety is guaranteed. These strikes are part of a larger demand for the unions, which is located in the negotiating process with the federal government and the municipalities. You want to enforce a wage plus of eight percent or at least 350 euros per month for over 2.5 million employees, such as Verdi explained.

background of the strikes

These warning strikes are not isolated: On Wednesday, too, thousands of public service in North Rhine-Westphalia took part in work-downs, especially in Essen and Düsseldorf. A variety of urban services were affected here, from daycare centers to swimming pools. Everywhere the employees demand fairer working conditions and better wages. Verdi has not received an acceptable offer from the employers in the last rounds of negotiations, which has further increased the willingness to strike, as was already clear in previous warning strikes. The next negotiation date between the unions, the federal government and the municipalities is scheduled for mid -March in Potsdam to advance the tense negotiations.
