24-hour strike at German airports on Monday to impact half a million people

A 24-hour strike at major German airports will affect over 510,000 passengers and cancel more than 3,400 flights, as reported by the association of Germany's airport operators ADV.
The trade union Verdi called the strike after wage negotiations failed, demanding an 8% wage increase or at least 350 euros more per month.
Frankfurt Airport reported that no departures were expected, leading to significant mobility issues, according to ADV.
Employers have rejected the wage demands, stating they are unaffordable, with further negotiations scheduled for later this month.
