Germany's GDL union, which represents many of the Western European country's train drivers, has called for another strike amid a dispute with Deutsche Bahn.
A union representing many of Germany's train drivers has called for another strike in a long and bitter dispute with the state-owned main railway operator over working hours and pay, drawing sharp criticism from the country's transport minister. The GDL union called on drivers of Deutsche Bahn's passenger trains to walk out for 24 hours starting at 2 a.m . Tuesday. Meanwhile, drivers of freight trains will walk off the job from 6 p.m. Monday.
The walkout was announced on Sunday evening, in keeping with a union announcement last week that it would no longer give a 48-hour notice before striking. It follows a 1 1/2-day walkout last week. The main sticking point in the dispute that has dragged on for months is GDL's demand for working hours to be reduced from 38 to 35 hours per week without a pay cut.
Private operators run some regional train services in Germany, unaffected by the dispute with Deutsche Bahn.
