The Verdi trade union has extended its nationwide public transport strike to include subway systems, effective tomorrow, February 18th. The escalation, announced following a warning strike reported by Hochbahn, impacts urban rail networks across Germany.
The initial strike action, called for February 2nd, targeted local and regional transport, according to reporting from Google News. The expansion to subway lines represents a significant broadening of the industrial action.
Details regarding the specific impact on individual city subway systems remain unclear. Verdi has not yet released a comprehensive list of affected routes or timetables.
