Strikes Highlight Workers' Demands for Better Conditions

The ongoing warning strikes led by Verdi emphasize the urgent need for improved working conditions and salaries among cash transporters and airport employees. With around 10,000 money and security service providers deemed critical to cash supply, Verdi's actions stem from high workloads and increasing sick leave.

While banks and retail sectors remain prepared for potential cash shortages, Verdi predicts restrictions on cash withdrawals and exchanges. Similarly, the airline industry faces disruptions as Lufthansa and Eurowings cancel flights due to labor disputes.

Verdi is advocating for substantial pay increases and better agreements, particularly in light of the disparities faced by workers in East Germany. The union's push extends beyond the airport, seeking to expand capital allowances for various public sector employees.

These strikes serve as a reminder of the pressing need for fair compensation and improved conditions across multiple sectors.
