Ground crew workers striking in Berlin. But Rümker also said that they would no longer give warnings about any potential future strikes before they take place. Verdi has demanded €1 more per hour for its long-term ground crew workers, who currently earn on average €11 per hour. At Tegel, just a few flights with Air Berlin continued as planned, and at Schönefeld some Easyjet and Ryanair flights were also able to take off. The union also launched ground crew strikes on two different occasions in February.
