The New York Times: Μεγάλη απεργία της Γερμανίας

Germany’s major strike
Travel for millions of people in Germany was upended yesterday when public transit workers staged the largest transit walkout in decades. The strike halted most trains, trams, buses and ferries, forced the cancellation of most flights and served as a warning about the stakes of salary negotiations.
About 155,000 workers walked out in the “mega-strike,” as it was called in German media. Two of Germany’s largest unions called for the strike in an effort to gain leverage in talks with the government. The workers seek salary increases of more than 10 percent to keep up with inflation.
A British comparison: Like the strikes in Britain by nurses, postal workers, train drivers and teachers, the unrest in Germany is driven by the rising cost of living. Inflation was 8.7 percent last month in Germany and 10.4 percent in Britain.
