"Lufthansa Ground Staff Union Calls for Wednesday Strike, Disrupting German Airports"
The Verdi union has announced a strike by ground staff at Lufthansa, scheduled to take place from 4 a.m. to 7:10 a.m. on Wednesday, affecting airports in Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, and Dusseldorf. The union is demanding a 12.5% wage increase for 25,000 workers, or at least 500 euros more per month over a 12-month period, citing a higher cost of living and heavy workload due to staff shortages. Lufthansa is yet to determine the number of flights that will be cancelled as a result of the strike.
