It’s just the start of the warning strike week in local transport: Today, bus drivers in Schleswig-Holstein, Saarland and the Trier region in particular are being called on to strike – numerous connections could be cancelled.
The warning strike week of the ver.di union in local public transport begins with work stoppages by bus drivers in Schleswig-Holstein, Saarland and the Trier region. Numerous bus connections are likely to be canceled as a result.
In Schleswig-Holstein, employees of private bus companies are called on to go on a five-day warning strike. Urban traffic in Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg and Neumünster is excluded. In Saarland, the municipal transport companies in Saarbrücken, Saarlouis, Völklingen and Neunkirchen are on strike all day, and two bus operators in the Trier region.
Restrictions also in Berlin
In Berlin, transport companies expect restrictions on bus, tram and subway traffic until this afternoon. The reason here is a warning strike by three other unions.
Ver.di has planned industrial action across Germany from Monday to Saturday, regionally on different days. The main strike day is Friday, March 1st. Bavaria is the only federal state not affected.
Shorter working hours
Parallel to the warning strikes, Fridays For Future is organizing numerous demonstrations against the climate crisis on March 1st. The regional collective bargaining rounds focus on the working conditions for employees. Ver.di demands shorter working hours without financial losses, longer rest periods between individual shifts, more vacation days or more vacation pay.
