Verdi also calls on air security forces to go on a warning strike. Around 1,000 flights were to be canceled on Thursday and Friday and around 100,000 passengers were expected to be affected.
Verdi is calling for an hourly wage increase of 2.80 euros over a period of twelve months, with overtime bonuses starting more quickly from the first hour of overtime. Aviation security collective bargaining concerns the working conditions of around 25,000 employees of private security service providers. In the state of Bavaria, these workers are employed in the public service, for which a different collective agreement applies.
