German airports crippled by warning strikes [View all]


FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Most German airports were hobbled Tuesday morning by a round of public sector strikes, resulting in the cancellation of hundreds of flights, news reports said. Workers at the Frankfurt airport, the nation's busiest, were expected to return to work at mid-afternoon, reports said, while stoppages were also planned at other key hubs, including Munich and Berlin. The warning strike was called by the Verdi trade union ahead of further negotiations, which are set for Wednesday.
