Berlin ATMs devoid of money over the weekend

An unpleasant surprise was held in store for Germans and tourists visiting ATMs over the weekend, in Berlin. The ATMs were void of money, and thus noone could even withdraw 20 euros!

The reason for this unfortunate event, in case any rush in to play the blame game, is not the Greek matter, a Grexit, or the talks of a referendum in Athens, but a strike! According to German newspaper Handelsblatt, the Verdi union, which includes Prosegur employees, had declared a strike, demanding an increase in salary. Prosegur is the company responsible for resupplying ATMs. The union states that regardless of size, almost all banks in Germany are affected.
