Verdi wants to paralyze airports with a warning strike on Thursday. Without security personnel there is no access and therefore no operation of the security areas at the airports.

Air traffic is therefore likely to be paralyzed in large parts of Germany. Verdi is demanding a flat-rate increase in hourly wages of 2.80 euros and faster surcharges over a period of twelve months. Aviation security assistants in the lowest salary group currently earn 20.60 euros an hour, which adds up to a gross salary of almost 3,300 euros for 160 monthly working hours.
