"German Train Drivers Union Initiates Six-Day Strike Over Pay and Hours"
TL;DR Summary
The German train drivers' union, GDL, has called for a six-day strike starting Wednesday to demand better pay and reduced working hours from state-owned railway operator Deutsche Bahn. The strike will affect passenger services and freight trains, following previous strikes and warning actions. GDL seeks a reduction in working hours from 38 to 35 per week without a pay cut, arguing it would make railway jobs more attractive, while Deutsche Bahn has rejected the demand as impractical.
