Main strike day on Friday: Verdi and climate activists protest for mobility transition. Verdi has again called for work stoppages on buses and trains in a number of countries, including Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Hamburg.

“A social-ecological transport transition is possible - and helps us all,” explained Liv Manthey from the climate protection movement Fridays for Future. The union is currently negotiating new collective agreements for local public transport companies in all federal states except Bavaria.
