		</div><p>A one-day strike by workers at 13 German airports, including the Frankfurt and Munich hubs and all the country’s other main destinations, has led to the cancellation of most flights.</p>
<p>The 24-hour walkout, which started at midnight, involves public-sector employees at the airports as well as ground and security staff.</p>
<p>At Frankfurt Airport, 1,054 of the day’s 1,116 scheduled take-offs and landings had been cancelled, German news agency dpa reported, citing airport traffic management.</p>
<p>All of Berlin Airport’s regular departures and arrivals were cancelled, while Hamburg Airport said no departures would be possible.</p>
<p>Cologne/Bonn Airport said there was no regular passenger service and Munich Airport advised travellers to expect a “greatly reduced flight schedule”.</p>
<p>The ver.di service workers union’s strike also targeted the Hamburg, Bremen, Hannover, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne/Bonn, Leipzig/Halle, Stuttgart and Munich airports. At the smaller Weeze and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airports, only security workers were called out.</p>

<p>The union announced the strike on Friday. But at Hamburg Airport, it added a short-notice walkout on Sunday to the strike on Monday, arguing that it must ensure the measure was effective.</p>
<p>The so-called “warning strike”, a common tactic in German wage negotiations, relates to two separate pay disputes: negotiations on a new pay and conditions contract for airport security workers, and a wider dispute over pay for employees of federal and municipal governments.</p>
<p>The latter already has led to walkouts at Cologne/Bonn, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Munich airports.</p>
<p>Pay talks in that dispute are due to resume on Friday, while the next round of talks for airport security workers is expected to start on March 26.</p>
