The latest strike by Lufthansa's ground staff in Germany marks the fourth major strike in the country within a few weeks. This series of strikes has not only disrupted travel across Germany but has also highlighted deeper issues within the country's economy, including rising inflation, a tight labor market, and the potential for another year of recession. Carsten Brzeski, chief economist at ING, joins DW Business to discuss how these strikes reflect the overall mood in the country, the impact on the economy, and the reasons behind the increasing frequency of industrial actions.
