Berlin airport employees hold warning >>strike<< over planned consolidation

BERLIN (AP) -- >>Workers<< at Berlin's three airports stopped work for
three hours Thursday to demand job security for 2,000 employees when the
airports are consolidated.

The Public Service, Transport and Traffic Union is concerned that jobs will
be cut when Schoenefeld Airport, gateway to the former East Berlin, becomes
the city's main international airport after the turn of the century.

About 50 flights were delayed by the three-hour >>strike<<, from 5-8 a.m.

Tegel Airport, in northern Berlin, currently handles most commercial
traffic. Schoenefeld and Templehof are primarily used for charter flights.
