There are also new strikes by train drivers in Great Britain
There are also new strikes by train drivers in the UK. The ASLEF union announced on Thursday that train drivers from 16 different rail companies would strike for one day each between December 2 and 8. "We are determined to win this dispute and secure a significant pay rise for train drivers," said ASLEF General Secretary Mick Whelan. Salaries had not been increased since 2019, while the cost of living had risen significantly in that time.
The industry association Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents the interests of rail companies, stated that a fair and acceptable offer had been made. The association called on the union to end the industrial action.
In Germany, the train drivers' union GDL has called for a twenty-hour warning strike until 6 p.m. on Thursday. However, Deutsche Bahn is also expecting disruptions on Friday.
