The nationwide warning strike in local transport is now also affecting Bremen.
The Verdi union is calling for a strike at Bremer Straßenbahn AG on Friday.
Bremen – Bus and tram customers also have to prepare for failures in Bremen on Friday.
The Verdi union announced on Tuesday that there would also be a strike at Bremer Straßenbahn AG (BSAG) on March 1st.
Verdi announced in the evening that there was once again no result in the collective bargaining talks on Tuesday.
That's why the employees of BSAG, which operates buses and trams in Bremen, are now being called on to go on an all-day warning strike.
The strike begins at the start of operations and ends at the end of operations.
A demonstration together with “Fridays for Future” is planned for Friday morning.
“The negotiations so far in Bremen have been constructive in principle,” said Verdi union secretary Marian Drews.
However, there is still no convergence in some points.
“That's why we're now calling for another warning strike to increase the pressure for a good offer.” The union is demanding, among other things, more vacation, longer rest periods and an adjustment to the time allowances.
According to Verdi, the next negotiations in Bremen are planned for March 13, 2024.
Since last Monday there have been work stoppages in local transport nationwide as part of a week of action, and on different days regionally.
The main strike day is Friday, on which there is now also a strike in Bremen.
In Lower Saxony there will be work stoppages in Göttingen from Wednesday, and from Thursday also in Hanover, Braunschweig and other cities.
