Wage dispute with Deutsche Bahn: GDL members vote for longer strikes
The most recent warning strikes in the conflict were "only a very small ray of hope", the next industrial action will be "stronger, longer and tougher", said GDL boss Claus Weselsky. He did not speak directly about indefinite strikes, but they are now possible.
The GDL's core demand is a reduction in weekly working hours for shift workers from the current 38 to 35 hours with full pay compensation. The talks recently broke down over this. Longer strikes are now possible from January 8 next year at the earliest.
