customer Deutsche Bahn can not hope for a quick end to the 138-hour strikes in spite of the new conversation offer the employers ‘side of the train drivers’ union GDL. The union reacted angrily about it to learn about the plans of the web from the press.
For the first time in the ten-month labor dispute at the railway CEO Rüdiger Grube has publicly turned in the last failed negotiations and brought the former Prime Minister of Brandenburg and SPD leader, Matthias Platzeck (SPD) as a moderator from this week. The GDL had been informed of the advance before the press conference. “That is good form.”
GDL boss Claus Weselsky has already responded to Grube’s proposal and called him at a rally in Cologne as a publicity joke. “No one should assume that we end the present time due to a PR gag by the CEO of Deutsche Bahn, the strike action”, Weselsky said. But he said to the GDL will evaluate Grubes proposal, if that request vorliege writing. “And we take our time doing,” added the union leader added.
In addition, the path of the GDL has been a sort of “guarantee of existence”. The GDL should not fear the currently launched by the Federal Government on the way to the Law bargaining unit, said train personnel director Ulrich Weber. If in doubt, you’ll make a collective agreement on the law, said Weber. “That is possible.”
GDL from summer without power
The expectation that a law on collective unit could occur in summer in force and restricting the right to strike of craft unions as the GDL, is considered one of the main reasons for the present hard line of the train drivers’ union in the labor dispute by train. “The union wants more as soon as possible as much as possible by pressing. They are driven by the fear of being powerless in summer”, says parties of the grand coalition.
The reaction in the GDL on the supply train was still plenty of cool: In the management of the train drivers’ union in Frankfurt it was said that they had no new message from the web – and you will not pass judgment on proposals to the press gather. “First, you would have to talk directly with us directly,” said a spokeswoman.
Even if you go into the new offer of negotiations, you’ll first check at rest and then decide. “We will not push the matter,” said the spokeswoman. This means that the strike will initially continued unabated.
From the announced strike until Sunday to persons affected as freight trains. Passengers must as the day before set up that turn out at least two of three long-distance trains and operate only thinned out in the conurbations the suburban trains.
GDL throws Bahn procrastination before
the GDL last train had accused them play in the current debate on time and wanted to postpone the negotiations. The group from the waiting of Federal Labour Minister Andrea Nahles (SPD) elaborated law to collective unit. Does the after the current version in force, small unions like the GDL have hardly a chance to enforce their demands.
At the same time there was the first time in the recent weeks conciliatory words on the part of the union. To offer the path of the GDL Vice Chief Norbert Quitter says: “When we receive it in writing, we will look at it, we will examine and evaluate what it will bear.” At the end of the labor dispute, it will return a partnership between rail and GDL give.
CEO Grube has proposed an independent person should continue to take part in collective bargaining. Matthias Platzeck, who had already agreed to take on the task, is to ensure that the train was negotiating seriously. The GDL denies this. At the same time the path of the GDL conceded also to appoint an independent person for future discussions.
mine called strikers as a condition
This would Platzeck to a kind of” witness “in the negotiations that drag on for almost a year. Grube said, was a prerequisite for such a model with Platzeck that talks would begin as soon as possible and the railway strike the GDL would be terminated immediately.
The railway is ready to engage even during the day in new negotiations. “We want to negotiate -. Namely prefer tonight CHRO Ulrich Weber and his team are ready,” said Deutsche Bahn CEO Grube. Condition is, however, that “we begin such negotiations immediately, and the strike is ended immediately.”
Grube added, the tram mediation unchanged for best solution. If the GDL to be not ready at this stage, then the train would move forward in a different way – just the involvement of a moderator
CHRO Weber said. the group did not want to make the fundamental right of GDL eligible to negotiate collective agreements and it also to strike. However, the company wanted to find a solution: “This is only possible without strike.”
balance sheet with ten million euros charged
The train chief defended himself against the charge to delay the negotiations. “This strike adds train enormous financial damage. Even the recent industrial action have cost the company around 220 million euros. And in our losses by the current labor dispute are not yet included.”
The strike by train drivers loaded the balance sheet according to the company every day with ten million euros. The sum resulting from loss of revenue in the passenger and freight transport as well as expenses such as replacement schedules and customer information.
The path can only appeal to the GDL, the new to accept an offer of moderation, a pressure medium does not have the employers’ side. And the federal government is still far from having to intervene in the labor dispute.
While the SPD Bahn and train drivers’ union GDL has in the Bundestag in a rapid search for solutions asked the labor dispute. “Commuters, travelers and employers are enormously burdened by the strike this week,” said the SPD labor market expert Katja Mast. “. So it can not go on”
proposal sets GDL under pressure
Clear also was: ” It now needs fast serious negotiations of the social partners. ” Mast turned against claims arising from the Union for a compulsory arbitration procedure. “Propose a compulsory arbitration for the current rail strike is quickly said, but little thought,” she said. “The right to strike in the Basic Law is a valuable asset.”
However, the GDL is after the appearance of pit under heavy pressure. The promise that they would accept the union even after the entry into force of a law on collective bargaining unit continue fully as a partner, the train drivers withdraws actually the basis for such a hard strike price as at present.
When asked to CHRO Weber if he would just do it after the adoption of a law on collective bargaining unit so as if there was not this, he says simply:” So it is “. The railway prefer in any case tariff arrangements with the GDL before.
Although the employer had argued in previous negotiations in this direction, but so clearly expressed had been a member of the Railway Board in public ever.
GDL boss Weselsky will now have to demonstrate good reason to continue its strike price unabated. For a lot more than simply hide a law the federal government, which should be the need to train and thus to allow the Secretary of Labor Andrea Nahles (SPD) go out-of state-owned German railway can not really do.
