The strike is a result of unsuccessful negotiations for a 6 percent pay rise for around 2.3 million workers in various public sector roles across Germany. Employees would be on strike on Tuesday at Munich, Frankfurt, Bremen and Cologne airports.
As it was announced in Verdi’s press release, the strike at the Frankfurt airport will be from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday. In addition to the ground staff and some fire services staff announced earlier, the security staff and workers loading and unloading planes will as well join the strike.
“A number of strikes are increasing every year. Unfortunately, but passengers usually have their flights delayed or even cancelled because of these. But even during this kind of flight disruptions passengers have their rights. Carriers need to take care of their customers according to the EC 261/2004 Regulation,” comments Marius Stonkus, the CEO of flight compensation company Skycop.
