Warning strikes started at 13 German airports

The Verdi union has started its warning strikes at 13 German airports. Since midnight, employees from the public service of the airport operators, ground traffic services and air security areas have been on the ground in various tariff conflicts, as a spokesman for the union confirmed.

The warning strike should take 24 hours. The next round of negotiations for the public service is planned for this Friday (March 14) in Potsdam. Warning strikes even greater than planned since Friday warning strikes in the public service should also join employees of the air security areas, as Verdi announced on Saturday. These work in passenger control, personnel, goods and freight control as well as in service areas. For them, a new collective agreement is currently being negotiated with the employers in the Federal Association of Air Safety Companies (BDLS). The next round of negotiations is scheduled for March 26 and 27. The following airports are affected by the warning strikes in both collective bargaining conflicts: Hamburg, Bremen, Hanover, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne/Bonn, Leipzig/Halle, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Munich. At the airports Weeze near Düsseldorf and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, only employees of the air safety area are called up. Air traffic will come to a standstill in large parts of Germany: According to an initial estimate by the ADV airport association, only more than 3,400 flights fail because of the outskirts in the public service and in the event of the ground. compete. According to German air traffic control, there are currently around 6,000 flight movements at German airports on an average day. In addition, there are around 3,000 ferths in German airspace. Not to come to the Airport Airport Frankfurt, no passengers can start, and transit traffic will also be affected by certainty, the operator Fraport warned. 1,170 starts and landings were planned for the Monday with around 150,000 passengers. The tasks for a fully extensive flight operations would be exposed, only an emergency service would be maintained. The airport operator calls on the passengers not to get to the terminals. According to a spokesman, Lufthansa is working on a replacement flight schedule. The union demands eight percent more wages in the collective bargaining negotiations of the federal government and municipalities, but at least 350 euros more, as well as three additional days off. So far, employers have not presented a specific offer. In the air safety, Verdi calls for the improvement of occupational health and health protection, 30 days of vacation and additional vacation for shift work as well as the free choice of doctor in the regular mandatory medical aptitude examinations of the employees. The employers organized in the BDLS criticized the warning strike expansion: “The strike measures now set at 13 airports are not expedient and only underline the excesses on the part of the unions, with which we are once again confronted with this negotiating round,” said BDLS negotiator Christian Huber. In individual airports, the campaigns only begin in the early morning. The strikers in Frankfurt are supposed to meet in the morning. According to the ADV, 800,000 passengers were already affected. Strikes were disproportionate? The strikes are not proportionate, said Joachim Lang, the managing director of the air traffic association BDL. “Here a complete transport branch is closed across the board and this, although airports and airlines, but also gastronomy, retail and hotels are not tariff partners. The collective bargaining conflict is thus carried out solely on the back of the passengers before the next round of negotiation is due. ” Lang demands new strikes in the field of critical infrastructure.
