Verdi is calling for public transport warning strikes in almost all countries. Passengers will once again face significant restrictions this Friday, especially in rush hour traffic.

Just today, the German Locomotive Drivers' Union (GDL) prematurely ended its multi-day strike at Deutsche Bahn. Negotiations are taking place in all affected federal states at the same time. In Brandenburg, Saarland, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, Verdi wants to get 20 percent more for local transport workers.
