Germany is set to face new travel disruption next week as labor union Verdi calls for a one-day warning strike of Lufthansa AG ground personnel starting February 20.
The strike, which will start early Tuesday morning and end on Wednesday at 7:10 a.m. CET, will affect Lufthansa hubs Frankfurt and Munich as well as other German airports. There will likely be major flight cancellations and delays, the union said in an emailed statement on Sunday.
