A 24-hour strike coordinated by the Verdi trade union has halted operations at major airports across Germany, including Frankfurt and Munich, as ground staff demand an 8% pay raise. The strike follows unsuccessful wage negotiations aimed at securing better compensation and additional days off for nearly 2.5 million public sector employees. With flights canceled and hundreds of thousands of travelers impacted, both federal and local governments claim the union's demands are financially unfeasible, leading to significant disruptions in air travel and further complications for airlines like Lufthansa.
