"Berlin-Brandenburg Airport, which serves Germany's capital and the surrounding region, will cancel all flights and traffic on Wednesday after the Verdi union announced a strike for that day. Verdi called the strike amid a pay dispute with public-sector employers. 'In the second round of negotiations, the employers put forward an offer that [Verdi's] bargaining committee rejected as unacceptable,' Verdi said."
Berlin-Brandenburg Airport will suspend all flights and traffic on Wednesday following a strike called by the Verdi union in a pay dispute with public-sector employers. The airport advised passengers to contact airlines or tour operators for rebooking and alternative travel options. Verdi rejected the employers' second-round negotiation offer as unacceptable. Meanwhile, Germany's ruling CDU and SPD parties remain the strongest political forces following municipal elections in Hesse, while the far-right AfD achieved lower-than-expected gains. Public transport strikes have been called across various German regions this week. German government officials have expressed disinterest in joining Trump's proposal to send naval forces to open the Strait of Hormuz.
