Another warning strike in Bavaria causes failures in local transport.
A bang for commuters in the south and rest of Germany.
Bavaria – The Verdi union is again calling for a warning strike in parts of the local transport network.
Around 40 transport companies with thousands of employees are affected - also in Bavaria.
On Wednesday (April 26th), commuters in Bavaria and throughout Germany will have to reckon with restrictions.
Another warning strike for commuters on Wednesday in Bavaria – "force majeure"
At least if you are traveling within Bavaria, in Aschaffenburg.
Only the Kahlgrund-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft is affected in the southern federal state.
"Some bus lines are affected here," reveals Hans Sterr, press spokesman for Verdi Bayern, in an interview with Merkur.de.
Other local transport companies in Bavaria are not affected because they are not part of the tariff network.
In Aschaffenburg itself, however, the Verdi spokesman expects some significant effects.
Those affected have little choice but to find a solution themselves.
"As always with strikes, this is force majeure," says Sterr on the phone.
When asked whether there could be an agreement in the collective bargaining strike this time, the spokesman only said: "That will become apparent at the latest in the next negotiations on April 28 in Fulda".

Verdi strike on Wednesday partially paralyzes local transport – no agreement so far

No agreement was reached in the first round of negotiations on April 17.
