Ver.di is extending the strike in local public transport as planned. Employees in several federal states stopped work on Thursday morning.
The action is part of an almost nationwide wave of warning strikes by the union. March 1st is the main strike day nationwide. On that day, the union also wants to take to the streets with Fridays for Future. The collective agreement in Bavaria is not affected by the strike. There is no longer any threat of strikes in Saarland since a collective agreement was reached on Wednesday.
