The passenger control staff want to strike again on Tuesday in the north of the airports in Hanover, Bremen and Hamburg. The strike will last from midnight to 10 p.m., the Verdi union has announced.
22 departures are planned at Hanover Airport during this period. Some of the flights will probably be canceled because of the warning strikes, a spokeswoman said on Monday. In Bremen, 13 departures are scheduled for Tuesday. The background to the strike is the collective bargaining for around 25,000 employees at security checks nationwide with the Federal Association of Aviation Security Companies (BDLS). According to Verdi, no agreement has been reached in four rounds of negotiations so far.
Other airports on strike
In addition to Hanover and Bremen, strikes are also to be held at Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf and Cologne/Bonn airports. Because of the warning strikes, 15 of 27 departures in Hanover were canceled last Monday. In Bremen there were 4 out of 14 departures. The control of passengers before departure is a sovereign task of the federal police. But almost everywhere it is outsourced to security companies.
