00:00A one-day strike by workers at 13 German airports caused the cancellation of most flights on
00:07Monday.
00:09Public sector employees at the airports as well as ground and security staff organized
00:14a 24-hour walkout as part of an ongoing dispute over wages and working conditions.
00:20The German Airports Association said more than 3,400 flights were expected to be cancelled
00:25throughout the country.
00:27The Frankfurt and Berlin airports said all departures and arrivals on Monday are affected
00:32by the strike.
00:33It's angry.
00:34I understand when the strike, what they want and what they stand up for, but it's already
00:41when you're dependent on the flight so far, yes, you have to guide everything in the way.
00:47It's already difficult.
00:49The Service Workers Union announced the strike on Friday but added a short-notice walkout
00:54on Sunday at Hamburg airport, arguing that it must ensure the measure was effective.
01:00A common tactic in German wage negotiations, the so-called warning strike related to two
01:05separate pay disputes, negotiations on a new pay and conditions contract for airport security
01:10workers and a wider dispute over pay for employees of federal and municipal governments.
