Transit Workers Strike in Germany

Travel for millions of people in Germany was upended on Monday when transportation workers went on a 24-hour strike, the largest transit walkout in decades, bringing most train, tram, bus and ferry services to a halt and forcing the cancellation of a majority of flights. Rail, local public transport, airport ground staff and other workers began to walk off the job late Sunday night in an effort to put pressure on the government as they try to negotiate salary increases of more than 10 percent in order to keep up with inflation. The walkout, by 155,000 workers, amounted to a warning shot about what could happen this time if negotiations fail.
