German railway threatens new strike – derStandard.at

Frankfurt / Main – The train drivers’ union GDL collective bargaining explained by the Deutsche Bahn once again failed and asked for new strikes in view. “Delaying tactics and nebulous Announcements” on the employer side had led to renewed failure explained GDL chief Claus Weselsky on Friday in Frankfurt am Main. The German railway reacted with incomprehension on the new strike threat.

 

“Because the DB Chairman strike at the collective bargaining agreement with the GDL GDL members higher wages and reducing the load must reapply for better working hours, pull in the labor dispute,” Weselsky explained. Details of a possible strike he did not. The web has negotiated 30 hours after the method: It can not be what should not be

The web wished to maintain the cleavage of the engine driver with a vengeance and now trying to “the Lokrangierführer to anchor cheap as Jacob in the collective agreement,” Weselsky said. The GDL wants to integrate next-board staff and board restaurateurs also Lokrangierführer and dispatchers in the framework agreement and the collective agreement.

 

A spokeswoman for Deutsche Bahn described the remarks of the GDL leaders as “completely incomprehensible reaction” which corresponded after two days of intensive discussions “in any way the status of negotiations”. “We have met with respect to the wage agreement, the core concern of the GDL, joint results have achieved a consensus on many points,” she told AFP. Now back to threaten to strike is incomprehensible for the company.

 

The German railway negotiated in parallel with the GDL and the Railway and Transport union (ECG). Both unions want to achieve collective agreements for all its members. However, the Group will thereby prevent different results for one and the same occupational group. (APA, 17/4/2015)
