Deutsche Bahn: GDL calls for a new rail strike. GDL has already gone on strike five times in the current collective bargaining round.
The GDL's core demand in the collective bargaining dispute with the railway is the gradual introduction of a 35-hour week with full wage compensation. Longer trains with more seats should also be used in long-distance transport, the GDL says. The railways sharply criticized the call and spoke of an unreasonable expectation "for millions of rail passengers and the economy"
