Rail traffic started as planned after the end of the strike. Passengers first have to prepare for full trains.
It was the sixth strike in the ongoing tariff dispute with the railway. The railway failed in its attempt to stop the strike in court on Monday and Tuesday in Frankfurt with an interim injunction. The GDL is fighting for higher salaries and fewer working hours at the railway, and has not ruled out strikes over Easter. The crux of the conflict is the demand that shift workers only have to work 35 hours instead of the current 38.
