Berlin’s airport said it has canceled all passenger flights Wednesday because of a strike organized by the Verdi union, severing the German capital from international air travel
. Among the airport’s biggest airlines are discount specialist EasyJet Plc and Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
Labor union Verdi called the warning strike, citing dissatisfaction with proposals made in three rounds of collective bargaining negotiations by the airport’s management. It’s demanding an increase of €500 a month for ground services employees over a 12-month period as well as higher bonuses for air security personnel who work weekends and public holidays.
The latest disruption at Berlin follows a tumultuous summer of strikes and delays at Germany’s biggest airports after labor unions pushed for better pay deals to offset the cost of living squeeze. German inflation rates have soared after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drove gas and other energy prices higher.
