The transport strike is being organized by the German Transport Workers’ Union (Verdi) and is set to begin on March 26. The strike is in response to a dispute over working conditions and pay for transport workers, with the union seeking a wage increase of 4.8% and better working conditions for its members.
The strike is expected to affect public transport services in major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich, with buses, trams, and trains all set to be affected. Air travel is also likely to be disrupted, with the union calling on its members who work at airports to join the strike.
On the eve of the strike, disruption has already been reported, with cancellations and delays affecting train services in some parts of the country. In addition, some airlines have already announced flight cancellations and advised passengers to check the status of their flights before traveling.
The German government has called for both sides to return to the negotiating table in an attempt to avert the strike, but so far, no agreement has been reached. The strike is expected to last for 24 hours, with services set to resume on March 27
