Another warning strike in Schleswig-Holstein: buses are standing still!

Another warning strike in Schleswig-Holstein: buses are standing still!

In the current industrial dispute, the Verdi union is calling for another warning strike. From October 10, 2024, many private bus companies in Schleswig-Holstein will be affected by a strike. This will lead to noticeable restrictions on local public transport in the coming days. The union has called on employees to draw attention to their concerns. This happens at a time when the discussion about working conditions and wages is increasingly coming into focus.

The warning strikes begin on Thursday, October 10th and last until Friday, October 11th. In addition, serious restrictions are to be expected from October 14th to 17th. This measure is viewed with mixed feelings by bus companies and passengers, as local transport is essential for many people's daily journeys.
