German Airports Face Disruption Monday From Labor Union Strike

Almost all German airports, including the country’s major hubs in Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin, face disruptions on Monday after labor union Ver.di called on ground personnel, baggage handlers and security staff to go on a one-day strike.

Major restrictions on departures and arrivals, including widespread flight cancellations, are expected. In general, the strikes will start Sunday night and end 24 hours later, the union said in a statement on Sunday. Hamburg’s airport is already closed because of the walkout, according to its website.
