Warning strike hits NRW airports hard: many flight cancellations. Verdi is demanding 2.80 euros more wages per hour, higher functional bonuses and overtime bonuses from the first hour of overtime.

The new collective agreement should have a term of 12 months, demands Verdi. Collective bargaining is scheduled to continue in Berlin on February 6th and 7th. Around 200,000 passengers are affected by the work stoppages at airports in other federal states, such as in Frankfurt am Main. The airport association ADV had previously estimated that around 1,100 flights nationwide could be canceled.
