Germany: Security staff at Berlin Brandenburg Airport plan to strike March 13
Unionized security staff at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Germany, plan to strike March 13; disruptions to airport operations likely.
Event
The Ver.di union has called on aviation security workers at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) to strike March 13. The action is to protest pay and working conditions. Striking workers may picket outside the airport all day.
Unless averted, the strike may result in longer processing times and disruptions to flights at BER. Disruptions could persist beyond the strike period as the airport deals with any passenger backlog and airlines reposition aircraft and crew.
Advice
Confirm flight reservations if booked to fly via BER March 13. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Arrive early at the airport to allow additional time for passenger processing. Consider alternative arrangements for critical travel.
