Warning strike at the airport: That's why Verdi is on strike on Tuesday, March 22nd
The reason for the warning strikes
is the "
increase in the fees for security forces at commercial airports

Various warning strikes have already taken place in the past week.
"Employers have failed to finally submit a negotiable offer that takes up the price trend and ensures that work for qualified specialists in the aviation security sector remains attractive," explains Verdi negotiator Wolfgang Pieper.

collective bargaining negotiations
are scheduled for Thursday, March 24, in Frankfurt.
