The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Germany’s biggest trade union, ver.di, called the strike to add pressure as they continue the negotiations to secure a reasonable €500 per month average pay increase to ensure security and aircraft maintenance at the Airport. The demands are not exorbitant, as employees' salaries don't factor in the higher cost of living due to inflation.

Le Monde.fr

Establishment-critical narrative

Berlin Brandenburg isn't as important an air hub to Germany as Frankfurt or Munich Airports, but the strike action has prompted Berlin Brandenburg to cancel all of Wednesday's commercial flights, impacting hundreds of services and tens of thousands of passengers. Airport strikes are not uncommon in Europe, but this particular industrial action has been unnecessarily disruptive due to its short notice.
