There were two similar strikes in February, during which most scheduled flights were canceled, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, was hit by a series of nationwide strikes affecting air, rail, and public transport. Work strikes are now a daily occurrence in the country. Since the beginning of January, several key sectors in Germany have been brought to a standstill, with farmers striking first and then train drivers striking for six days, causing significant damage to Europe’s largest, already struggling economy.
