Germany's Strikes Cause Chaos for Travelers and Economy.

Nationwide strikes in Germany, called by two major transport unions demanding a 10.5% pay raise for their members, have caused huge disruption at airports, public transport, and the largest port. Over 400,000 transport workers are taking part in the industrial action, affecting around 380,000 travelers. Long-distance railroad services scheduled for Monday have been suspended across Germany, as were early morning regional and commuter rail services. The strikes have been criticized by some employers, but a recent YouGov poll shows that 55% of Germans consider the strikes "rather" or "fully" justified.
