Schwerin - Buses and streetcars do not run due to warning strikes
The trade union Verdi has called for warning strikes in local public transport in Schwerin for two Advent weekends. Buses and streetcars in Schwerin will then come to a complete standstill. According to Verdi, the first 48-hour warning strike will begin on Saturday (December 2) at 3:30 am and end on Monday (December 4) at 4:00 am.
The following weekend, residents of Schwerin will then have to prepare for a 72-hour warning strike, during which local public transport will come to a complete standstill. This work stoppage begins on December 9 (Saturday) and lasts until December 12 (Tuesday). This strike will also run from the start to the end of operations.
The warning strikes are triggered by Verdi's current negotiations with Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH. No agreement was reached in the third round of negotiations either. "Today's offer from the employer represents a deterioration in the pay scale compared to the previous negotiation offer, is to be interpreted as a provocation and our response is clear," explains Verdi's chief negotiator Christian Manke. "We will fight for our goals!"
