Two-day warning strike started in local public transport. Millions of people in North Rhine-Westphalia have to find an alternative way to get to work or school again.
Buses and trains were canceled every day in all tariff areas because there were not enough staff. The background to the renewed warning strikes is collective bargaining over the working conditions of employees in municipal transport companies. Two rounds of negotiations on the so-called collective collective agreement have so far produced no results. Among other things, Verdi is calling for additional days off to relieve the burden on employees and make the jobs more attractive.
