The service union Ver.di has announced strikes in local transport in all federal states except Bavaria for Friday. According to the union, over 130 municipal companies and a total of around 90,000 employees in cities and districts are affected.
Ver.di wants to put pressure on collective bargaining in local public transport; the union is primarily demanding better working conditions.
