The German Train Drivers' union (GDL) has voted nearly unanimously for 'indefinite' strikes after negotiations with Deutsche Bahn broke down. But you don't need to worry about travelling over Christmas.
Not 100% sure if you’ve understood, they should indeed do that, and it’s part of the “system” here. They should however also do that in solidarity with their less-exposed, more vulnerable coworkers, and not have a multitude of unions.
What annoys me is that there are two unions that would strike in turn and grind everything to a halt, the drivers and the service personnels union.
That’s the entire point. “We aren’t getting what we deserve, so we are making things uncomfortable until we do.”
