The service sector union Verdi had scheduled a "warning strike" for Berlin based cabin and cockpit crew from 8 to 12 in the morning. "Warning strikes" are in the heavily regulated German IR system short strikes (usually a few hours), which can be legally undertaken during negotiations (not like a "real" strike, which can only be undertaken when negotiations have been declared a failure by one of the parties).
