Bus strikes in Schleswig-Holstein: ver.di calls again for protest!

strike arm in Schleswig-Holstein! The ver.di union has again called for massive bus strikes that will continue until Sunday evening. The reason for this is a burst negotiation date that was scheduled for Monday. Private bus companies are particularly affected, while the municipal transport companies in the four independent cities and the Verkehrsbetriebe Kreis Plön (VKP) are not involved in the strikes. Passengers should urgently find out more at their respective bus companies in order not to experience any bad surprises.

Numerous school buses have already been paralyzed on Friday, and the situation could tighten at any time. The Omnibusverband Nord (OVN) blames the lack of financial resources for the failed negotiations. Ver.di, on the other hand, warns of unannounced strikes that could further tighten the already tense situation. Klaus Schmidt, the negotiator of the OVN, was indignant about the refusal of ver.di to appear on the agreed date, and described the behavior as ruthless towards passengers.

negotiations in the standstill

The fronts between ver.di and the ovn are hardened. Ver.di calls for a written offer from employers to restore trust. After the failed oral negotiation result of September 3, this is essential for the union. Sascha Bähring, the negotiator of ver.di, is convinced that the OVN has no real interest in an agreement. The OVN, on the other hand, sees the responsibility for the failed negotiations clearly at ver.di, which is not only willingly, but also in no time. The location remains tense and the bus drivers are ready to enforce their demands!
