Lufthansa flights to and from Manchester Aiport have been cancelled as ground staff vote to walk out on strike tomorrow (July 27th). The German trade union Verdi called the "warning strike" in a row with the airline over wages.
Verdi said that it was calling the strike “to increase the pressure on employers to submit a significantly improved, final offer in the next round of negotiations”. While Lufthansa called the action “unreasonable for customers and employees”.
German airports including Frankfurt, Munich, Duesseldorf and Berlin will be affected. It means that all flights departing Manchester for Frankfurt and Munich have been cancelled, as have any and all arriving flights.
