The repeated strike come, according to the information circulated, as a result of repeated calls from the Ver.di union for airport employees to stop working following a dispute over wages.
Ver.di, a trade union that employs thousands of workers in Germany, is demanding an increase of more than $500 or 10.5 percent on the salaries of its employees.
