Following the call of EVG Railway and Transport Union, the employees of Londonbahn started attacks in East Bavaria. The train can be expected to be canceled on Friday morning, Harald Hammer from the EVG office in Regensburg.

Viachat is the preface

The purpose of this action is to increase the pressure on employers in collective bargaining. Since December 2020, three rounds of talks have taken place. The previous offer by the employer is still unacceptable.

Among other things, the union demands 7.6 percent more funding for employees, increased time credit accounts and training salaries with a return to flexible time in their working lives.

Heimer said the first employees stopped their work at Wieetch in the Reagan district at around 3:30 in the morning. After a while, other places should follow. A total of 30 to 40 employees participate.

Employer should return to the negotiating table

Hammer said that there is a possibility of an impact on Wald- and Oberfalzbahan due to disturbances in train operations. Passengers in the Viechtach, Zwiesel and Cham area may be particularly affected. The warning strike will last until 10 am, in which workshop workers at Newmark in Vogtland also want to participate, according to the union.

There are currently no further warning attacks planned. He does not want to say that Hammer can say more. “But now let’s first hope employers return to the negotiating table.”
