STORY: At the capital’s airport BER nothing went on Wednesday since the early hours of the morning. A day-long warning strike paralyzed air traffic. The walkout began around 3:30 a.m. A lack of progress in the three parallel bargaining rounds had led to the decision to go on warning strikes. Verdi trade union secretary Enrico Rümker on the expectations: “We hope that the pressure is sufficient, that we can now get movement in the movements or quick movement in the negotiations. So far it hasn’t happened in some places. To give you an example : The tariff offered by the airport company is for a term of 24 months, where salaries will increase by 3% on June 1st and by another 2% on May 1st next year.If you look at how high the inflation rate is and consider that the colleagues from this area have not had a salary increase for many, many years, this is of course a slap in the face for the colleagues as an offer.” 300 take-offs and landings with around 35,000 passengers were originally planned at the capital’s airport on Wednesday. However, numerous flights were canceled and some were postponed to Thursday. Depending on the airline, customers have the option of rebooking or switching to the train.
