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.
