This is the best summary I could come up with:

Rail and air workers’ unions are threatening to resort to even more disruptive striking tactics in the future.

Millions of travellers across Germany have been hit by strikes again on Thursday after two unions called for two-day walkouts over wages and work conditions.

Air travel was affected as well, with ground staff for German airline Lufthansa stopping work early in the morning.

The strikes led to traffic jams in cities and on highways, a shortage of share and rental cars, and a rush of plane passengers trying to rebook flights.

Negotiations continue for Lufthansa ground staff and German rail operator Deutsche Bahn’s train drivers.

Thursday’s stoppages are the latest of several mass walkouts in the rail, air and local transport sectors in Germany in recent months, testing passengers’ patience.
