EVG sees guilt in the GDL
The ECG made the German train drivers union (GDL) serious allegations. “We had the chance to prevent the cleavage of the workforce, which is by the resistance of the GDL,” said EDC Chairman Alexander Kirchner. He had met with the GDL-chairman Claus Weselsky and the railway board member Ulrich Weber to the top-level meeting to discuss the process of further bargaining.
The EDC said after the top-level meeting, they expect the train would continue the collective bargaining exclusively with the TOE. “For we see joint negotiations after the failure of the top call no more room,” it said. “The ECG represents bargaining unit and will fight for it with all available means,” said Kirchner.
Who is allowed to negotiate for whom?
point of contention in the current conflict is mainly the question of which union should negotiate for which occupational groups. The GDL purport to conclude collective agreements not only for the drivers, but for the entire train crew. The TOE has represented in the past rounds of collective bargaining, the train crew wants, as well as the German railway prevent the end apply two competing collective agreements within the group

Before the meeting yesterday ECG had Chef Kirchner clarified that possible joint negotiations with the GDL only made sense in his view, “if therefore the same objectives”. The TOE will cancel the scheduled talks for Friday, when the GDL was not prepared to uniform collective agreements, Kirchner reiterated in RBB-Info radio before the summit meeting yesterday. “It makes no sense to sit down together at the negotiating table and to say from the outset, in the end what comes out different things,” he said. Without the goal of a joint collective bargaining agreement, the GDL and ECG should continue its negotiations with the rail separately
