Frankfurt Verdi uses the strike power of the security controllers and paralyzes the airports in several waves despite the Corona lull. NRW is also affected. An overview.
Because of a warning strike by security personnel, many connections at German airports were canceled on Tuesday morning. In Hamburg, all departures were canceled because the security checks for passengers remain closed all day. Air traffic is very restricted at the capital’s BER airport, a Verdi representative said in the morning. Frankfurt Airport called on passengers not to arrive because they cannot reach their flights due to the lack of controls. However, transfer connections should be possible at the most important German hub.

The union has called for walkouts at a total of eight airports. In addition to Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfurt, these are Bremen, Hanover, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf and Cologne/Bonn.

In the collective bargaining negotiations with the Federal Association of Aviation Security Companies, Verdi is demanding that hourly wages be increased by at least one euro per hour and that wages be adjusted regionally. The employers accuse the union of excess. After four rounds of negotiations, both sides want to meet again on Thursday in Raunheim near Frankfurt.
