Claus Weselsky is already threatening the following rail strike
GDL ends strike at Transdev firm early
The practice drivers’ union GDL will finish the continued strike on the Transdev railway firm early this Friday at 12 p.m. Negotiations are scheduled to renew subsequent week.
On the final of the three days of strike, GDL boss Claus Weselsky accused Deutsche Bahn of blocking negotiations thus far. And he confirms: “Anyone who says they won’t negotiate with us about reducing weekly working hours will go on strike.”
NAfter the strike ended on Friday night, the practice drivers’ union GDL desires to offer employers time “to come to their senses,” mentioned GDL boss Claus Weselsky. “If they don’t do that, the next industrial action will follow. It will be longer and it will hit the company even harder,” he affirmed. Weselsky accused the railways of blocking the negotiations thus far.
However, the strike on the transport firm Transdev ended early on Friday at 12 p.m. The GDL boss spoke of a “strong signal”. Wesesky defined that the corporate had introduced a discount in weekly working hours as a proposal for a resumption of negotiations. “We still have to negotiate a whole series of points, we haven’t reached a conclusion yet.”
The Trans Regio Deutsche Regionalbahn introduced that the Transdev Group, because the dad or mum firm, had achieved a return to the negotiating desk and an early finish to the strike. At Deutsche Bahn, the work stoppage ends on Friday at 6 p.m. “Anyone who says they won’t negotiate with us about reducing weekly working hours will go on strike,” emphasised Weselsky.
Annoyance amongst rail vacationers when trains are canceled is regular, defined the union boss. “Nevertheless, people know that unions have an important function in this country.”
The GDL started the strike in Deutsche Bahn’s passenger transport on Wednesday morning, and there was a strike in freight transport since Tuesday night. With the commercial motion, the union desires to extend the stress on the railway to be able to obtain, amongst different issues, a discount in working hours for shift employees with full wage compensation within the collective bargaining dispute with the corporate. The railway has thus far rejected this.
