GDL announces next strike starting Tuesday morning. GDL had demanded an improved offer for the return to the negotiating table.
Deutsche Bahn did not respond to GDL's request to present improved offer by 6 p.m. before the start of the discussion. DB is also prepared to enter into formal arbitration to reach a collective bargaining agreement with the train drivers' union GDL. The moderators had proposed a reduction in weekly working hours in two stages from 38 to 36 hours with full wage compensation by 2028.
