Strikes

German flag carrier Deutsche Lufthansa AG cancelled more than 1,300 flights on Feb. 17 after trade union Verdi called on workers at Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Dortmund, Hanover and Bremen airports to go on a 24-hour strike, Yahoo Finance reported citing Reuters. The strike comes as the union is trying to negotiate a significant increase in wages for airport employees and believes that authorities have made little or no efforts to meet their demands.
