Berlin – A gesture of reconciliation called GDL chief Claus Weselsky the favorite stop of the recent railway strike – but CEO Rüdiger Grube sounds angry instead reconciled. “The union must be aware of their responsibilities and be willing to compromise,” Grube said the newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”. The train would have made many offers, “is now the ball is in the GDL field.” The negotiations should now be resumed quickly. “Every day counts,” said the head of Deutsche Bahn.
Mine did the GDL serious allegations. She had not yet knocked out all compromise offers, the settlement proposals of independent labor judges. “I’m upset about GDL-chief Weselsky because it violates the principle of proportionality between the social partners,” Grube said.
So far, there is no date for new negotiations. Core of the conflict is the claim of the GDL to negotiate over wages and working conditions of train conductors. This is what the web-management does not want to get involved but as for this occupational group previously competing union ECG has made the collective bargaining agreements. Pit reiterated the offer, at the same time and to perform parallel negotiations with two unions at the same place, to come to a uniform conclusion. The GDL refused so far.
On Saturday night the longest strike in the history of Deutsche Bahn had ended. By 18 clock organized in the GDL train drivers and train conductors began to work again. Originally the walkout until Monday 4 clock should continue. It will anyway take for Group information until Monday, until the trains return to normal schedule.

On average, about two-thirds of normal connections should roll. There are
Big problems but in northern Germany.

Overview: The labor dispute at the rail
What does the GDL
The GDL calls five percent more reward with shorter working hours . Overall, there is an increase of 15 percent. Weselsky will also continue to negotiate not only Rates for the approximately 19,000 drivers, but also for about 17,000 staff on board Rangierführer . So far, these from the Railway and Transport union (ECG) are represented.
What does the web?
The web offers a three-tier income increase of five percent , spread over 30 months. For this, a time payment of some 325 € . But competing collective agreements within a professional group wants to avoid in any case the Group. The train had offered to continue to negotiate in collective discussions parallel with GDL and ECG . Then should only a union agree to a compromise , this should also apply only for its members. The other union will want to train but then not strike are allowed.
What is the cost of the rail strike?
The planned strike record at Deutsche Bahn will cost the economy forecast of researchers a hundreds of millions . “With continuous strikes of more than three days production interruptions are expected in the industry,” writes the employer near Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln (IW). “The damage can then quickly rise to more than 100 million euros per day.”
