BERLIN: Germany's Verdi trade union has called for strikes on Monday at the country's northern airports, including Berlin, which it said would likely cause longer queues for passengers and flight cancellations.
Verdi said it was calling for security staff to strike at Berlin airport due to disputes over pay for working nights, weekends and bank holidays that had been going on for years. It will be the latest in a series of strikes and protests that have hit major European economies, including, Britain and Spain, as higher food and energy prices knock incomes and living standards after the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine.
The Hamburg branch of Verdi said it was also striking over the regular pay rise offered to public sector employees of 2 per cent for the next 27 months and one-off payments of €1,500 and €1,000, which it said was not enough given annual inflation running at around 9 per cent.
