Berlin: Airport security personnel in Germany staged warning strikes on Monday in a dispute over pay, bringing disruption to several German airports.
Around 1,000 security staff went on strike at airports including Berlin and Frankfurt, Europe's third-busiest, the giant services union Verdi said, although some resumed work shortly afterwards.
It was not immediately clear what impact the strike was having in terms of delays and cancellations as some flights were already affected by heavy snowfall in several parts of Germany.
Verdi said it called the warning strike over what it said were stuttering negotiations on a collective wage bargaining agreement for its 15,000 members employed as security staff at airports in Germany.
"We want employers to work with us towards a constructive agreement," a Verdi spokesman told AFP.
"Then there will be no need to strike," added the spokesman.
