The strike will affect both the capital’s Tegel and Schoenefeld airports.
Ver.di says employers “provoked” the strike by offering a pay increase of 2 percent over two years.
The union wants hourly pay for all workers conducting security checks to rise to 20 ($22.81) euros. The employers association BDLS says this could amount to an increase of 30 percent in some cases.
