A surprise strike by baggage handlers at Hamburg Airport began early Sunday, forcing the closure of the airport and cancelling most flights, affecting over 40,000 passengers at the start of spring holidays. The Verdi union organized the strike to apply pressure amidst ongoing wage negotiations. Only a small number of flights operated on Sunday morning. Airport representatives criticized the union’s tactics, labeling the sudden strike as "dishonourable," particularly as many families were impacted. Similar strikes are planned across 13 airports in Germany due to broader labor disputes in the public sector.
