I wanted more information and it was not easy to search for the links on the device I was using. Once again, thank you and NewbieRunner for the information and sources.

Its hard when strikes have become part of the culture in some of these Euro societies....When I was a kid, 30+ years ago, I remember my mother had to go on strike because of the union she belonged to, and I also remember how embarassed she and her co-workers were about it. Today it seems to be a badge of honor to say you are striking....

Oh dear... I hope they stay calm in Munich on Thursday! I have a flight to Vienna (on OS ticket stock, but a codeshare operated by LH).

My flight's at 15h05 if you want to hook up in the lounge in the couple of hours preceding it. But I'm only a FTL, so I'll be in the normal lounge. With a bit of luck there'll be enough excitement this week as it is and there won't be any further strikes.
