Munich Airport Witnesses Staff Walkout

Aeronautical activity - Munich Airport Witnesses Staff Walkout

A labour stoppage by an airport service provider in Munich may result in flight delays and cancellations on Tuesday. The union Verdi has convinced about 175 employees of EFM to stop working from 8 am to 11 am. The cause of this action is the stalled talks on salary increases. One of the union's requests is to expand the collective bargaining agreement to include the joint venture between Munich Airport and Lufthansa. EFM plays a significant role in tasks like pushing aircraft around, repositioning them, and, in colder weather, de-icing them.
