 Tariff negotiations failed, according to the union. Now faces new strike

                 Frankfurt. On Friday afternoon, it had looked for an approach in protracted labor dispute at Deutsche Bahn. It was closer come in many points, and both sides have made concessions, said train personnel director Ulrich Weber after the end of the negotiations with the train drivers’ union GDL. You have submitted an offer that will now be examined by the GDL. At 17.45 clock testing was completed. But the GDL rejected the offer of state-owned and declared the negotiations failed. The victims are now rail customers: You must adapt to new strikes. Already in the coming week must reckon with walkouts, said a spokesman GDL. The strikes would however be announced early.

“delaying tactics and nebulous Announcements” on the employer side had led to the failure of the negotiations, said GDL chief Claus Weselsky on Friday in Frankfurt am Main. “Because of the DB Chairman strike 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 said. The German railway described the reaction of the GDL after two days of collective bargaining as completely incomprehensible.

“champagne for the Management and dry bread for the train crew” have the web service, scolded Weselsky. He spoke of a provocation, because the train had previously indicated a rapprochement. DB executive Ulrich Weber had just yet explained. “I see at the moment absolutely no reason for the strike” About money and work they wanted in the next round of negotiations on 27 April again speak in Frankfurt, it was at the time still.

The GDL strives for its members in the train crew’s collective agreements on. So far, the union has agreed division accounts for train drivers. The GDL requires five percent more money and also one hour earlier work per week.
