Tens of thousands of transport workers have brought Germany to a standstill in what is being described as the country's most widespread strike action in over three decades
Germany's national rail operator Deutsche Bahn says the strike is"completely excessive, groundless and unnecessary."
Hundreds of flights were cancelled at major airports across the country, including the busiest hubs in Frankfurt and Munich on Monday. Bus, tram and metro drivers in seven federal states – including Bavaria and the country's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia – also joined the strike action.
The Verdi trade union already began a series of walkouts earlier this month in various sectors after the second round of collective bargaining negotiations with the government and local authorities ended without agreement.
