Nationwide strikes in Germany — the biggest the country has seen in decades — are causing disruption at the country’s biggest port, airports, and on public transport Monday. The walkouts have been called by two major transport unions in Europe’s biggest economy. Ver.di, one of the unions, has demanded a 10.5% pay raise for its members, citing rising energy and food costs. More than 400,000 transport workers are taking part in the industrial action, according to Frank Werneke, the head of Ver.di.
Long-distance railroad services scheduled for Monday have been suspended across Germany, as were early morning regional and commuter rail services. In Munich, the local transport operator MVV has announced the suspension of nearly all trains, underground and tram lines. MVV expects half of all scheduled bus services to run. Germany’s largest port in Hamburg has also been hit by the walkouts, with large ships unable to call at or depart from the port. German employers have criticized the strikes.
