Ballot - GDL members vote in favor of indefinite strikes at Deutsche Bahn
The train drivers' union GDL may now also call for indefinite strikes in the wage dispute with Deutsche Bahn. In a ballot, around 97 percent of the voting members were in favor of this, as announced by the GDL in Frankfurt am Main on Tuesday.
The GDL's core demand is a reduction in weekly working hours for shift workers to 35 hours - the talks recently broke down over this.
More on this shortly here.
