GDL strikes again City-Bahn Chemnitz

The train drivers' union is once again striking on the City-Bahn Chemnitz (CBC) next weekend. The strike will begin on Friday at 5 p.m. and end on Monday, June 17 at 5 a.m., the GDL announced on Thursday evening. According to the union, this is already the 15th day of the strike. Among other things, the dispute is about the introduction of the 35-hour week. The union has been repeatedly covering the municipal company with strikes for weeks.

The national chairman of the German Train Drivers' Union (GDL), Claus Weselsky, stated that the union was ready to "re-enter negotiations at any time, provided that the CBC makes a serious offer that provides for a gradual reduction in working hours to the 35-hour week without a reduction in pay and a pay increase in line with the market".
