German Unions Call Nationwide Strikes Amid Stalled Wage Talks

  • Security workers at three major German airports walked off the job over pay demands, grounding hundreds of flights.
  • A separate strike by rail workers halted most train service across Germany for eight hours.
  • The strikes came as unions pushed for pay raises of up to 12% to offset higher living costs, but talks with employers stalled.
  • Around 150,000 passengers were affected by the airport strikes, while the rail strike impacted the country's train network.
  • Further negotiations are planned but more strikes could follow if agreements aren't reached.
