Strikes in the bus industry: Chaos in Schleswig-Holstein threatens!

Henstedt-Ulzburg, Deutschland - The struggle between the ver.di union and the Omnibusverband Nord in the private bus industry in Schleswig-Holstein continues to come to a head. Ver.di will be moving all the registers again next Monday and has called for warning strikes in several circles. The employees of the private bus companies are affected in the districts of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Flensburg, Dithmarschen and Nordfriesland. This reaction comes after the employers' association has withdrawn its earlier commitments for a tariff compromise from September.

With this measure, ver.di aims to increase the pressure on the employer side in order to enforce fair conditions for the employees. The union announced that the warning strikes will continue until next Friday. This argument is of central importance, since it significantly influences both the working conditions of the drivers and the reliability of local public transport.

fire in Henstedt-Ulzburg

Another incident occurred on Sunday evening in Henstedt-Ulzburg, where a fire broke out in a single-family house. The basement was completely on fire when the fire brigade came with around 50 emergency services. The mission lasted more than three hours, fortunately the residents were not injured because they were not in the house at the time of the fire. However, the causes of the fire are still unclear, as the police confirmed.

Fires in houses are always alarming because they not only endanger property, but can also endanger the life of the residents. The fire brigade emphasizes how important it is that citizens are informed about fire protection measures in order to be able to react correctly in an emergency.

accidents and construction work hinder traffic

A serious traffic accident occurred on Sunday afternoon on the B206 near Rotenhahn in the Segeberg district when a car initially collided with another vehicle and then crashed into a house. According to the first reports, the building was classified by the force of the impact as at risk of collapse. Five people suffered injuries in this incident, and the B206 had to be blocked for hours, which led to significant traffic disruptions.

In the region, however, the focus is not only on the accident. Due to construction work at AKN, there are also severe impairments in public transport. On the Ulzburg-Süd route to Elmshorn and on the A1 line from Ulzburg-Süd to Eidelstedt, it can occur in longer travel times because buses replace the trains. Travelers have to expect a time expenditure of 20 to 30 minutes, which means a significant change for the commuters. The A2 line between Neumünster and Norderstedt Mitte is excluded, where the trains drive according to schedule.

In summary, the situation in the northern state is characterized by several critical developments that affect both the world of work and traffic. The continuing strikes could challenge the mobility of the citizens, while the news about fires and accident events sharpen the general security awareness.
