		</div><p>Lufthansa has cancelled 895 flights scheduled for Wednesday from six German airports as government workers called short-term strikes in the run-up to wage discussions later this week.</p>
<p>The airline said that its hubs in Munich and Frankfurt would see the most disruption, adding that some 87,000 passengers would be affected overall.</p>
<p>Public-sector workers doing ground handling and security checks were expected to walk off the job ahead of wage talks with the government on Thursday.</p>
<p>The ver.di union is looking for a 6% pay rise for its two million members.</p>
<p>Lufthansa, which is not part of the negotiations, deployed practices it has used during strikes by its own employees to prevent long lines and chaos at airports.</p>
<p>It cancelled flights ahead of the start of the strike action and urged passengers to check their flight status on LH.com.</p>
<p>Passengers with mobility limitations were cautioned that staff to assist them getting through the airport would be in short supply and that they should consider rebooking at no cost.</p>
<p>Of the cancelled flights, 545 were to or from Munich, where the strike was to last all day.</p>
<p>All intercontinental flights to or from there were cancelled for Wednesday, the company said.</p>
<p>Most international flights would operate from Frankfurt, where the strike period was to be from 4.30am to 3pm local time.</p>
<p>However, flights within Germany or Europe from Frankfurt were largely cancelled.</p>
<p>Other airports affected are Dusseldorf, Cologne-Bonn, Dortmund and Hanover.</p>
<p>Strikes are taking place at a number of facilities such as kindergartens and swimming pools.</p>
<p>Garbage pick-up and street cleaning in Munich were also affected.</p>
