Germany 'mega strike': Huge strikes in Germany disrupt flights, trains and buses

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

Germany's transport network is at a near standstill as the country experiences one of its largest strikes in decades.






Flights at eight major airports, including those in Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg, have been affected by the strikes. The German Airports Association has estimated that around 380,000 travelers will not be able to take off on Monday.

And some hubs such as Munich Airport closed their doors entirely, with 200,000 passengers impacted by the two-day closure that started Sunday.

Long-distance railroad services scheduled for Monday have been suspended across Germany, as were early morning regional and commuter rail services.

Strikes, strikes, protests the world over. Oh well, I won't be traveling, that would be a nightmare

1. Good.

Funny how you left out the important stuff. The GERMAN PUBLIC is SUPPORTIVE of the strike, which is over a demand for a raise to KEEP UP WITH FOOD COSTS.

Oh, the horror.

5. It's a European thing, eh? Never see widespread strikes here. Spring breakers would have mega riots

2. It's a Democratic process..............

where fascism is trying to destroy besides other freedoms.

I'm for it. Germany, France, Israel

I do see where fascism intertwine in destruction of all things that favor Democracy, but alas, we do love our choices.

4. It wouldn't hurt if they'd make clear that these price .......

raises are a response to Putin Inc. and their subsidiaries' Ukranian invasion.

It may not seem obvious to many, especially American readers, who live in a post Reagan knee jerk anti-strike ambiance.

6. Excellent examples which Americans will fail to recognize.

Whether it be our freedoms, our environment, or our pay and safety on the job, we will not be inconvenienced.

8. When there is economic tumult in Europe they strike.

It’s part of the deal. I’m sure the German rail workers were influenced and inspired by their British counterparts who recently staged a long strike. It’s contagious.

9. Well I would like to see massive street protests demanding Trump be thrown in jail, cmon people

We can show outrage over social injustice too
