The Wardi Trade Union announced on Friday that the two largest airports in the Northern Rhine-Westphalia state will be the two biggest airports starting on Monday.
Walkouts at Cologne-Bone and Daseldorf International Airports are going to last for 24 hours.
What do we know about the strike?
Vardi announced that the strike would begin on Sunday evening in Colon and on Monday morning at Daseldorf.
The Sangh said that it is expected to “wide impact on passenger flights at both airports”.
The background of the walkout is a wage dispute for public sector employees at both federal and municipal levels.
On Tuesday, a second round of wage talks in the eastern city of Potsdam ended without resolution.
The Verdi and the Civil Service Union subsequently announced that they would expand their industrial action before the next negotiations starting on March 14.
Vardi is demanding eight percent more funds, but at least € 350 more per month, as well as high bonus for especially stressful work.
“NRW has been killing employees at NRW airports from rejecting the airport attacks,” Wardi’s Regional Director Gabriel Shamit said about the airport attacks.
Hey said that many employees were under severe pressure due to increasing charge and shortage of employees.
“All weaves are often associated with high time pressure and responsibility for people and technology,” he said, “he said.
