Germany's transport industry held a national strike. What caused it?

Germany's transport industry held a national strike because of the trade unions of German railway companies and public transport enterprises (such as city buses, subways, trams, etc.). ) failed to agree on wages and working conditions, so the union decided to go on strike.

Specifically, trade unions demand that employees' wages and benefits be increased, and employers increase the number of employees, so as to reduce the work pressure of employees. However, employers believe that these requirements will lead to a sharp rise in costs and affect the operation and competitiveness of enterprises. In addition, the two sides also have differences on other issues, such as working hours and overtime pay.

Therefore, holding a national strike in Germany's transportation industry is an action taken by trade unions to safeguard employees' rights and interests, and it is also part of striving for better working conditions and treatment.

1, 20265438 There was a national strike in Germany's transportation industry, mainly because the trade union (Ver.di) and the employers' association failed to reach an agreement on issues such as wage increase and working hours in collective bargaining. The scheme put forward by the employers' association in this industry is considered to be insufficient to solve the problems faced by employees, leading to a large-scale strike.

The general strike in Germany's transportation industry has affected many fields, including public transportation such as trains, subways and buses. Because the public transport service in Germany was almost paralyzed during the strike, many people's lives, studies and work were troubled. In addition, other companies related to this industry have also been affected to some extent.

After the strike broke out, governments and people all over Germany expressed their support for employees' rights and interests, calling on employers' associations to pay more attention to employees' treatment and end the negative impact of the strike as soon as possible. Since then, after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement to end the national strike.
