The strike of the union of German train drivers (GDL) continues despite an offer from Deutsche Bahn. “The bad news for rail customers: the strike continues,” said GDL boss Weselsky.
Despite an improved offer from Deutsche Bahn (DB), the rail strike continues. The chairman of the union of German train drivers (GDL), Claus Weselsky, confirmed this on Thursday in the ARD “Morgenmagazin”. “The bad news for rail customers: the strike continues,” said Weselsky.
As announced, the strike started at 2 a.m., the railway announced. Freight traffic has been on strike since Wednesday afternoon. Since the start of the strike, a replacement timetable has now applied again. During the strike days, Deutsche Bahn wants to ensure that around a quarter of the trains on the normal timetable are offered on long-distance transport. In regional and S-Bahn traffic, the company is aiming for an offer of around 40 percent. But there are regional differences. “The main strikes are in the east and in some metropolitan areas,” said Stumpp. Stronger restrictions are to be expected there.
The GDL announced on Monday the third and so far longest strike in the tariff dispute with the railway. The strike should end on Tuesday at 2 a.m.
