Customer Deutsche Bahn must continue to take into account a strike from Thursday when they travel planning. Whether the GDL is actually to call for is still unclear. Many indications, however. The decision will come today. Questions and answers.
Why the GDL is now threatening again with strikes?
The train drivers’ union, the feeling that the negotiations with the DB AG are stuck. With the exception of a “breakthrough” acclaimed one-time payment of 510 euros for the past year the militant GDL chief Claus Weselsky with empty hands standing in front of its members, and not once, as confirmed in 2014. Even after several rounds of negotiations and six strikes since the summer the train was spoken more money on substantive requirements of the GDL for shorter hours and by 5 percent.
What role does the proposed law to the bargaining unit?
A very large, because it is expected to shake up the collective landscape at Deutsche Bahn strong. In the future, only complete operation per each main union collective agreements, the other should not strike effectively. Since existing contracts should obtain grandfathering, results in a certain time pressure to come to a conclusion before that. In Berlin is expected after the previous schedule so that the Federal Council dealt by 10 July at its last meeting before the summer break finally with the topic.
Does the web because of the law on time?
At least that the GDL. Train personnel director Ulrich Weber holds, however: “We do not want to wait for the law, because we do not know when it comes from and how it comes.” He would close by negotiation with the unions collective agreements. And you want to be with GDL and the competing Railway and Transport union ECG congruent as possible, which further complicates matters. The GDL demands nothing less than a completely new structure of collective agreements in the web which are supposed to fit as possible in the GDL surface tariffs with the other tracks.
What are the objectives of the GDL with views of the bargaining unit ?
The GDL strategy is focused on expanding its influence in driving mode of the DB AG. In the largest possible portion GDL wishes to obtain a realistic chance to be larger and thus to collective bargaining union in later years. In addition to the train drivers should therefore current for the entire board staff, including the Rangierlokführer valid contracts are negotiated. The TOE competition will concede without a fight only monopolized the infrastructure sector, the DB must hold for all railway companies Weselsky. That would be primarily employed in the network AG, maintenance and stations.
Why is the wage agreement for the GDL so important?
wants to achieve uniform working conditions for drivers as possible of all railway companies in Germany. She has for many years tried to enforce reached at Deutsche Bahn standards for the smaller railway companies – often accompanied by strikes. Particularly important is the train drivers to secure their jobs at the same wage level in a business transition, such as occurs frequently in the re-allocation of transportation services in the web.
How does the larger Railway and Transport union?
waiting. Your goals this respect they conform with those of DB AG, as they do not want divergent collective agreements within a profession. Without strike has brought out a sizable one-off payment for its members and the TOE. Particularly important to her is that the lower income groups to the cleaning lady or the marshals benefit disproportionately from the upcoming collective bargaining agreement. Pay should inter alia, the higher eingruppierten drivers that have so far shown no willingness to
