Workers at Germany’s largest airport are set to go on strike on Monday.
Trade union Verdi on Friday said workers at Frankfurt Airport are set to go on strike on Monday.
Most employees of Fraport, which operates Frankfurt Airport, are under collective wage agreements, and could join the strike, due to begin at midnight on Monday morning (2300 UTC).
Ground staff at the airport were also called on by Verdi to lay down tools on Monday.
The so-called “warning strike” comes after a second round of wage negotiations for public sector employees fell through.
What is the trade union demanding?
Strikes at several German airports last week amid the ongoing wage dispute heavily disrupted travel.
Verdi is seeking a collective wage agreement for around 2.5 million public sector workers.
Demands include an 8% pay bump, higher bonuses, and three additional days off.
Local municipalities and the federal government have said the Verdi proposals are not financially feasible.
Other sectors included health care workers, 20,000 of whom went on strike Thursday. Workers at kindergartens were due to strike on Friday.
Another round of negotiations is set to take place next week.
