Collective bargaining agreement puts Deutsche Bahn in trouble: there is now a threat of massive job cuts. Employees fear widespread job cuts, but the board denies this.
Hiring in the operational area - such as train drivers, train attendants or service managers - is not affected. In long-distance transport alone, 250 million euros would have to be saved in order to achieve the annual targets. In order to save costs, DB Cargo wants, among other things, to outsource parts of freight transport to subsidiaries.
