There are again warning strikes in Bavaria: buses and trains have come to a standstill in large cities in the Free State - a challenge for commuters.
Another warning strike in Bavaria.
In several cities, buses and trains stand still (including Nuremberg *, Munich and Ingolstadt)
There had already been a warning strike at the end of September.
Update from October 26, 1:14 p.m
.: A warning strike
paralyzed
large parts of
public transport
in large Bavarian cities
on Monday
.
According to the Verdi union, around 1,400 employees took part.
The cities of
Munich, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Fürth, Coburg, Bamberg, Aschaffenburg, Ingolstadt, Passau, Schweinfurt and Regensburg
were affected
.
The union wants to put pressure on employers with the action before the third round of negotiations on Friday.
She criticizes the previous offer by employers as too vague and insufficient.
According to their own information, these had offered, among other things, an increase of 3.5 percent with a term until the end of August 2023 and a one-time corona special payment of 300 euros.
The effects on Monday were evident.
In Munich, for example, almost all subways and parts of the rest of the local transport failed.
In Nuremberg,
subways, trams and buses remained
in the depot.
Warning strike in Bavaria: negotiations on collective agreements in local public transport
Negotiations on the respective collective bargaining agreements in local public transport are currently ongoing in the federal states.
Although this is part of the public service, the union’s demands have nothing to do with the collective bargaining negotiations that were concluded there over the weekend.
In the case of public transport, there are separate sectoral collective agreements.
In addition,
collective bargaining agreements
in the private bus industry are being negotiated
in Bavaria
.
This was partly on strike on Monday where they offer trips in local public transport.
In Regensburg, Coburg, Bamberg and Aschaffenburg, the warning strikes are to continue on Tuesday.
Apart from that, Verdi has given the passengers the all-clear for the rest of the week: No further actions are planned until the third round.
How things will proceed if an agreement is not reached in the third round is unclear.
According to Verdi, there is no set number of negotiation rounds.
Warning strike in Bavaria: picture from Munich shocked

Today there is a warning strike across Bavaria, public transport such as the subway is at a standstill - in the middle of the Corona * pandemic.
The numbers are particularly high in Munich, the state capital is in the dark red
warning level
.
That's why a picture of a bus stop in
Munich is
particularly shocking
.
The MVG asks on its website to adhere to the distance rules.
How this should currently work, however, is probably up to the commuters themselves.
Thanks to @_verdi for the #strike at the #MVG
The distance is kept super!
Can this actually be counted as a bio-attack if you force people to be on the move during Corona times?
