re-train strikes, nothing stands in the way. In a strike ballot among some 20,000 union members vote on 90 percent for further action
At Deutsche Bahn, it is expected to give new strikes soon. The train drivers have clearly voted a ballot for further industrial action. Through Sunday but still no strike is to be expected, said Claus Weselsky, chairman of the German train drivers union (GDL), in Frankfurt on Thursday. “We deal responsibly with our strike force. The passengers will have enough time to look for alternatives. “
In the ballot, 91 percent of participants had endorsed further industrial action. 75 percent were necessary. After GDL data, 81 percent of the approximately 16,000 voters participating. “We will not immediately strike with more days of strikes. We will increase little by little, “Weselky. Said
The web reacted with incomprehension. In the wage negotiations there had been four bids, said Human Resources Director Ulrich Weber. The GDL must explain why they do not come to the negotiating table. “We can only achieve results if there is a partner with whom we can talk.”

Weselsky had declared the negotiations last week failed. The drivers require five percent more money and a two-hour shorter working week. The GDL required for the 17,000 train conductors, board restaurateurs, Lokrangierführer, coaches and dispatchers. They rivaled it with the greater Railway and Transport union (ECG).
The web insists that the two unions delimit at least, for which occupational groups each is responsible. She hopes that if need be planned by the Federal Government Act to bargaining unit, both union forces to cooperate. Weselsky pointed the path to blame for the strike to be: “In order to justify the law on the bargaining unit, reasonable force us employers to take industrial action.” Yet on Wednesday, the train had proposed to suspend negotiations until the law was on his way. Until then, the train drivers should receive two percent more money. The web approves the GDL but only to responsible to negotiate the train drivers. The GDL will take on Monday commented on them.
