GDL strike ended - train service will soon be available again in full. It was the sixth strike in the ongoing tariff dispute with the railway.
The union is fighting for higher salaries and fewer working hours. The railway accepted a compromise proposal. This envisaged reducing working hours to 36 hours in two steps by 2028. The GDL refused and allowed the talks to fail. It no longer announces new strikes 48 hours in advance, but rather at short notice. GDL and its chairman Claus Weselsky have also not ruled out strikes over Easter.
