The Verdi service union in local public transport is now also calling for a warning strike. The union has called on its members in almost all German states to go on all-day warning strikes next Friday. This is reported by “Stern”.

“Since collective bargaining has now taken place in all federal states and has not produced any results, now is the time to put more pressure on employers,” said Verdi’s deputy federal chairwoman Christine Behle.
For passengers this means next Friday: they need to have good nerves. Massive problems are expected, especially in commuter traffic. And that after the GDL train drivers’ union had just ended a multi-day strike at the railway earlier than planned on Monday.
No agreements yet
Apart from Bavaria, new collective agreements for employees in local public transport are being negotiated everywhere. According to Verdi, this affects 90,000 employees in more than 130 municipal companies. But so far no agreements have been reached.
The warning strike is supported by the environmental movement Fridays for Future. “We all need reliable local transport that allows us to get to work, the club or home safely and cheaply,” said spokeswoman Darya Sotoodoh on Monday, as “Stern” reports.
