Lufthansa hit by strike action
German airline Lufthansa has warned passengers that up to 400 flights will be cancelled today as ground handlers at Germany’s largest airports go on strike. Ground handlers in Frankfurt, the country’s biggest hub, are set to walk out this morning, while Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart will also be hit by industrial action. Workers in the Verdi union are striking in a row over pay rises for public sector employees.
