Rail passengers must be prepared for a new strike. It is set to begin at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, March 12, and will last for 24 hours. This was announced by Claus Weselsky, head of the train drivers’ union GDL. After that, there could be further unannounced strikes. Deutsche Bahn and the union have been arguing for months about a new collective agreement. A key issue is the GDL’s demand to reduce the working week for shift workers from 38 to 35 hours without reducing pay.
