Warning strikes at airports: Passengers have to expect massive failures

A two -day warning strike will be scheduled at Munich Airport from Thursday, as the Verdi union announced. This is done in the context of ongoing collective bargaining and is intended to put pressure on employers. According to Manuela Dietz from Verdi, massive impairments are expected, especially for security controls and soil services. This was also reported by OE24 . Travelers should find out about possible changes in their flights from their airlines or tour operators, since there is still no official information on the effects of the strike.

The warning strike in Munich is following considerable disorders at Cologne/Bonn Airport, where 106 of 168 planned flights have been painted since Sunday evening. Düsseldorf Airport will also be affected by the strike measures on Friday; Over 30 percent of the 334 planned flights have already failed there, such as Wa.de In both cities, the Verdi union calls for a salary increase of eight percent, but at least 350 euros more per month and more flexible working hours. Gabriele Schmidt, Verdi-Landesdenzirksleuhrin NRW, sees these claims as necessary, since the current refusal of employers has a negative impact on the employees.

massive flight cancellations and recommended measures

passengers at the affected airports have to adjust to late or unusual flights. Verdi assumes that many connections will be significantly affected, not only in Munich, but also in the other affected airports. There are already indications of the strike on displays. Travelers are urgently asked to find out about the status of their flights before they start their trip, as the airports expect further cancellations.
