Collective bargaining
Train and EVG continue to talk – no agreement in sight yet
Since Wednesday, the train and the EVG union have been negotiating more money in the third round. The conversations are ongoing. It is open whether an agreement is reached.
Deutsche Bahn and the EVG railway union continued their collective bargaining in third round at the weekend. Since Wednesday, both sides in Berlin have been talking about more money for around 192,000 employees. No agreement had been made by Saturday afternoon, the negotiations continued. Up to and including Sunday, the collective bargaining parties have given themselves to this round.
Warning strikes only possible from April
In terms of content, neither the railway nor the railway and traffic union (EVG) commented on the state of affairs on Saturday. Negotiations are being negotiated intensively. Further negotiation rounds have not yet been scheduled. If there is no agreement, it should be difficult to cope with the Bundestag election. That was actually the goal of the union.
Even if there is no agreement on the weekend, passengers can still remain relaxed at first. Due to the obligation to peace, warning strikes on rail traffic are only possible from April 1.
Among other things, the EVG calls for 7.6 percent higher wages and salaries plus an additional money of 2.6 percent for shift workers, some of which can also be converted into free days. In addition, she wants an employment guarantee by 2027. The employer recently offered a gradual tariff increase of 4 percent and additional money of 3.9 percent for shift workers. The term should be 37 months.
