Germany faces a fresh wave of travel disruption this week after two labor unions separately announced strikes that stand to affect air and rail services for several days.
After talks with state railway operator Deutsche Bahn AG collapsed, the union representing train drivers called on members to begin walkouts on Wednesday evening for cargo operations, following up with passenger services early on Thursday. Deutsche Lufthansa AG also faces mass disruptions after the Verdi union called on members to walk off work for almost three days from Thursday.
