Germany: Bahn, train drivers agree to 35-hour week in deal – DW – 03/26/2024
Deutsche Bahn and the GDL train driver's union have given more details of a pay-and-terms deal they struck on Monday, ending a long-running industrial dispute marked by several strikes.
Good news for people who need to use the Deutsche Bahn. It won't help much concerning the general problems of reliability/punctuality unfortunately.
You're viewing a single thread.
The depth of the reduction and all the built-in escape valves show that this was an extremely tough compromise, but hopefully we can use this landmark deal to boost the fight for the 4-day work week as the new norm. I think that's something IGM made a priority, but many sectors represented by ver.di are also ideal sectors for this.
