Berlin (APA / Reuters) – In the train it could despite the proximity to the train drivers’ union GDL come to new strikes soon. This time threatens the larger railway union ECG with work stoppages. EDC chief Alexander Kirchner warned in the “Tagesspiegel am Sonntag” before an agreement between the web and GDL at the expense of his organization.
“It can not be the solution to have two collective agreements with different contents at the end,” he said. “Then we will fight for our interests, if necessary with a labor dispute.” Background of months since simmering labor dispute is the competition between the two unions. The GDL had recently paralyzed with a strike more than three days, large parts of the railway traffic.
content requires the GDL shorter working hours, better shift schedules and five percent wage increase. Essentially, it is about her but not to negotiate only for the 20,000 drivers, but also for around 17,000 staff on board Rangierführer. For this profession but so far includes the Railway and Transport union (EVG) the collective agreements with the railway. The GDL is not talking reversed the TOE from the right, even for their members at train drivers and other groups to enter into contracts.
The path will avoid competing labor agreements with two unions for the same group of workers. The state-owned company wants to negotiate with the unions after repeated strikes by train drivers and the longest strike in its history on Tuesday and Friday.
Another reason for the bitter labor dispute between train and GDL is in the opinion of the trade union to thin personnel ceiling. The consequences are numerous overtime and family-unfriendly shift patterns, criticizes the GDL.
The track currently increased its staff on. In the first nine months of this year 9,500 new employees were recruited, confirmed a spokeswoman for the web, a report of the “Welt am Sonntag”. Less disposals ask the staff represents a growth of 1,500 employees. In the coming year, the workforce should grow. In addition, the web has reportedly this year with 3,700 apprentices (“trainees”) occupied all the planned places and taken more than 2,500 apprentices.
