Next round of strikes on local public transport: buses and trains are canceled in many places in Bavaria on Mondays and sometimes also on Tuesdays. Regional and S-Bahn trains are not affected.
Although there was an agreement on Sunday in the collective bargaining conflict in the public service. Public transport in Bavaria is not included, however a different collective agreement applies here.
Verdi’s union calls for higher wages for drivers
The Verdi union wants to increase pressure on employers before the next round of negotiations. Verdi criticizes the “massive refusal to accept” from businessmen. The union demands higher incomes, better working conditions and a 35-hour week for around 6,300 drivers.
In addition to a one-time Corona payment of 300 euros, employers also offer a 3.5 percent salary increase. But Verdi doesn’t go far enough with this offer. In view of the driver shortage, work must become more attractive.
