At Deutsche Bahn is a strike in all probability back shortly. In a ballot, the members of the union voted German train (GDL) with 91.0 percent of the valid votes declared a labor dispute, as a spokeswoman for the GDL in Frankfurt on Thursday. For the agreement to further strikes 75 percent were required. 81 percent of the approximately 16,000 voters were involved, said the GDL.


                                                             
             
                                                                                 
                                         

Through Sunday is still not expected to strike. “Over the long weekend” will not call the GDL to work stoppages said the GDL chairman Claus Weselsky. “We will not immediately strike with more days of strikes. We will increase little by little, “he added. The most recent tariff offered by the railway will evaluate the GDL at the weekend and then on Monday to take position.


                                                             
             
                                                                                 

With a new offer, the German railway tried over the last moment to avert the strike by train drivers. With its new proposal, the web will now represent “the collective bargaining with the GDL on a different basis.” The company wants to expose as long as the collective bargaining until the legal basis for bargaining unit “is clear”. Until then, the train drivers are to receive two percent wage increase. The railway recognize “expressly” the autonomy of the GDL as a bargaining partner at eye level on, the group said. The union, he asked to return to the negotiating table on.


                                                             
             
                                                                                 

The German Railway has reacted with incomprehension on the strike threat the train drivers’ union GDL. It had four offers given to the GDL, which were associated with an invitation for talks. This would not have taken place so far, said railway personnel director Ulrich Weber in Berlin on Thursday. “We can only come to results, if there is a partner with whom we can talk.” GDL must explain why they do not come to the negotiating table and instead calls for strikes.

In the labor dispute GDL had already twice
called strikes, leaving large parts of the nationwide rail traffic paralyzed in September. With the labor dispute, the GDL wants to enforce their demand for five per cent more money and shorter working hours. It raises not only for the drivers, but for the entire train crew. The GDL rivals it with the greater Railway and Transport union (ECG).
