Commuters in Schleswig-Holstein: busy mercy paralyzes local transport!

commuters in Schleswig-holstein have to prepare for massive restrictions on bus traffic by Friday evening! The strike of private bus companies that started on Tuesday has a firm grip on the region. "Almost nothing works in the big companies," said a spokesman for the Verdi union. The bus drivers show an overwhelming participation, most of the buses stand still and the affected circles are numerous - only the district of Plön is spared. However, public transport remains unaffected in the four independent cities. On Friday at 1 p.m., a large rally is expected in Bad Segeberg, in which several hundred employees should come together.

collective agreement broke: Verdi under fire!

The reason for this dramatic industrial action? An already negotiated collective agreement has burst! At the end of September, the Omnibusverband Nord (OVN) revoked the tariff and justified this with the prank list of the black and green state government, which also affects local transport. A terrifying result of a match: 98.63 percent of the employees voted for permanent strikes! The private bus sector comprises the transport companies of the districts and the Bahn daughter Auto -powered, and the OVN represents around 80 private companies with around 1,700 buses.

Verdi is now exposed to massive allegations! The association accuses the union of not only refusing to have the exploratory talks offered on Monday, but also rejected several offers of the employer side. Among other things, an inflation equalization base of 1,000 euros was discussed. Verdi now demands that the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the modes of transport will ensure financing for local public transport and private bus companies. A merger of the larger bus companies into a collective bargaining community or the explanation of the general liability by the Minister of Economic Affairs could be solutions. The situation remains tense!
