Verdi calls on Lufthansa ground staff to go on warning strike. Verdi announced on Tuesday evening that employees and trainees were among those called upon to take part in the three-day nationwide strike.

The strike is expected to last until Friday, Verdi said. The union is in the midst of a collective bargaining dispute over ground staff at the German airline. It is the first time the union has called for a warning strike over the collective bargaining agreement with the airline.
