Verdi NRW is threatening further actions in local transport. The next hearing date in North Rhine-Westphalia is mid-February.
As of midday on Friday, 100 percent of those present on Friday had taken part in the work stoppages in the companies on strike. Only a small part of the regular buses ran in the strike regions, which are already operated by private subcontractors. The background to the warning strike is the collective negotiations about working conditions in the municipal transport companies.
