Strikes in Germany

Today morning, I heard on the radio (what I could understand with my basic knowledge of German) that there was a strike and that was affecting the Airport, the long distance trains, and the regional trains. Honestly I did not pay much attention as later they referred to the elections in the United States and how Hillary Clinton was back on the competition.

However, later when I read some international newspapers I got to realise how grave the situation had been and still is. Looks like in the biggest cities in Germany there were big problems. Specially in Hannover where the CeBit is taking part.
