35-hour week exacerbates shortage of skilled workers at the railway: Association calls for action. Pro-Rail Alliance calls for bottleneck occupation classification for train driver jobs – to combat the shortage ofskilled workers.
The employment agency should enable more people to make a career change to become a train driver, says the Pro-rail alliance. The industry must hire five to ten thousand train drivers every year by the end of the decade, says association boss Dirk Flege. The association is also calling for the employment agency to expand educational vouchers.
