GDL strike is ongoing: Bahn lets every fifth long-distance train run. GDL wants a 35-hour week with full pay.
Union leader Claus Weselsky wants to rely on so-called wave strikes in the future. The GDL rejected its proposal to gradually reduce working hours to 36 hours per week by 2028 with full wage compensation. The company called on the union to continue to give at least 48 hours' notice of strikes. “Anything else is unreasonable for passengers and also for the economy”
