For months, was bitterly fought. Several strikes were brought by Germany completely paralyzed. Now the train drivers’ union GDL reports a “breakthrough” in the wage dispute with Deutsche Bahn. What are the main points and how will it continue?
With six strikes the train drivers’ union GDL has asked the rail customers to the ordeal. Now, the union announced a breakthrough. All members receive therefore 510 euro as a single payment for the months of July to December. In general, the GDL had demanded five percent more money for the employees.
The union penetrates in return no more to two hours less work week, but merely requires one hour less as GDL chief Claus Weselsky said. This would culminate in his words, in a 38-hour week. He pointed out that the train had dropped any conditions for collective bargaining and agreed with the one-time payment for the first time a degree for all members. “Go soothes Can the New Year”
Also train Human Resources Officer Ulrich Weber spoke of initial progress and a good day for customers and employees. “We can go calmed down in the new year.” However, many demands of the train drivers were open. The GDL have the interest of the web acknowledged to agree that no competing collective agreements within a professional group with ECG and GDL. “This plain-talking was important.”
From January to a close for the period from 2015 to be negotiated. According train more hearings on 19 and 28 January were agreed. Strikes are so far off the table, as Weselsky insured.
The TOE omitted initially on strike
With the Railway and Transport union ECG, the web will negotiate again on 14 January. The EDC had agreed not to go on strike. The TOE requires for its approximately 100,000 DB employees six percent more money, but at least 150 Euros for a one-year term. Also, the TOE to propose to train a one-time payment of 510 euros.
The competing with the GDL TOE get the same offer, Weber announced. But talks about should not be easy. ECG negotiator Regina Rusch-Ziemba called the one-time payment on Wednesday “in the present form is not sufficient”. She demanded to provide the sum of even the cleaners and security guards of the web.
Can GDL negotiate for other professional groups
progress in the labor dispute had for months failed on the question whether the train drivers’ union may negotiate to other professions such as train conductors or board restaurateurs who in their Member are. Previously negotiated the ECG for these groups. The railway in turn wants to avoid tariff competition within the company.
