From Thursday evening, train passengers and commuters in Germany will once again have to prepare for significant restrictions on rail traffic across the country.
The German Locomotive Drivers’ Union (GDL) has called for a 24-hour warning strike at Deutsche Bahn. The strike starts on Thursday evening at 10 p.m. and lasts until Friday evening at 10 p.m. However, disruptions are expected before the warning strike officially begins.
All long-distance and regional transport employees, as well as S-Bahn employees in Berlin and Hamburg, have been called to strike.
According to the announcement, the freight transport strike will begin on Thursday evening at 6 p.m. The union wants to emphasize, among other things, the demand for shorter working hours for shift workers.
Deutsche Bahn criticized the GDL for ruining the second weekend of Advent for millions of uninvolved people. A strike so soon after the start of winter and so shortly before the timetable change was irresponsible and selfish, rail staff director Martin Seiler criticized.
“Instead of negotiating and facing reality, the drivers’ union is striking for demands that cannot be met. This is absolutely unnecessary.” The last time the GDL struck at the railway was on November 15 and 16. (sda/awp/dpa)
