German labor union ver.di says its members will stage a strike Tuesday at Frankfurt airport, Germany's biggest. The strike is part of a broader dispute over pay in German public-sector jobs that also includes utility companies, kindergartens and municipal administrations. Ver.di said Monday that strikes are also planned at Munich and Bremen airports. Lufthansa, Germany's biggest airline, said it was canceling more than 800 planned flights, including 58 intercontinental connections. The union is demanding a 6 percent, or at least 200 euros ($245) per month, pay rise for some 2.3 million public-sector employees.
