According to Reuters, two German labour unions, Verdi and EVG, representing transport workers called for mass strikes on Monday related to wage disputes. These strikes are expected to cause widespread disruption to services at railways and airports.
The strikes, scheduled to start just after midnight on Monday, will be the latest in months of industrial action and protests that have hit major European economies as higher food and energy prices have hit the people.
