Flights in Czechia affected by Munich and Hamburg airport strikes

A two-day strike at Munich and Hamburg airports is disrupting air travel, including all six flights between Munich and Prague scheduled for today and Friday. The strike, called by the Verdi union, demands an 8% wage increase or at least €350 per month for public sector workers, plus three extra vacation days. The protest, involving maintenance, security, and baggage handling staff, is causing widespread delays and cancellations. It is part of a broader dispute with German municipalities and the federal government, also affecting waste collection and hospital workers in several cities.
