BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Germany has been hit by a strike as tens of thousands of workers walked off their jobs, resulting in cancellation of hundreds of flights, Press TV reported.

Workers at two airports in the country joined the striking workers at carmakers and suppliers. The workers' strike follows failed talks with employees for the third time over salary increase. A union representing manufacturing and engineering firms' workers said about 70,000 people took part in the strikes. The strike action affected firms including ThyssenKrupp A.G., Continental A.G. and Daimler A.G., among others.
