Air, Ground, and Rail traffic were brought to a standstill in Germany on Monday, March 27th from a grand-scale 24-hour walkout by transportation workers. Dozens of flight cancellations were made as planes remained grounded and local and long-distant rail traffic was halted. This strike is the most recent in a series of industrial actions across multiple sectors in public transportation and by far the most disruptive. Earlier in March, some 350 flights were cancelled in four German cities by similar smaller-scale demonstrations. While no definitive statements have been made by the unions, future demonstrations are possible.
