Verdi warning strike at BVG has begun. Almost no buses, trams and subways in Berlin due to a warning strike by the Verdi union.
The S-Bahn and Ringbahn are not affected. Regional and long-distance rail transport is also not on strike and runs according to the usual timetable. Verdi wants to increase the pressure on the BVG in the ongoing collective bargaining dispute over better working conditions. The sticking point in the negotiations in Berlin is the demand for an extension of the so-called turning times.
