German court blocks ATC strike
Posted 04/08/2011
A Frankfurt court on Wednesday blocked German air traffic controllers from staging a six-hr. strike planned for Thursday over pay and conditions. The strike would have affected thousands of flights during a busy summer holiday week.
The German air traffic control authority DFS applied Wednesday for an injunction against the strike, insisting the work action would be illegal. The air traffic controllers' union is seeking a 6.5% pay raise over 12 months, Reuters reported.
