According to reports, the German Railway and Transport Workers Union announced on the 11th that it will start a 50-hour railway strike later on the 14th, which may seriously affect the train traffic on Monday and Tuesday next week.
As early as the end of March, the German Railway and Transport Union and the German Service Industry Union launched a strike together, which basically paralyzed public transportation in Germany; at the end of April, the German Railway and Transport Union once again carried out an 8-hour warning strike.
Several unions in the transport and related sectors have been negotiating with employers for months, with no results until today.
According to the Deutsche Bahn and Transport Workers' Union, the upcoming strike will affect Deutsche Bahn's operator, Deutsche Bahn and other transport companies, with which labor talks have failed to make "meaningful" progress in recent weeks.
"The patience of our members is really running out now," a representative of the German Skyway and Transport Workers' Union said on the 11th. "We were forced to strike for 50 hours to show the seriousness of the situation." Availability without causing a complete standstill of the network depends on which resources Deutsche Bahn can mobilize.
Martin Seiler, director of personnel at Deutsche Bahn, criticized the decision to strike, saying it was a warning strike that did not require members to vote. This crazy strike was completely unfounded and completely excessive.
We all know that railway transportation is one of the most important modes of transportation in Germany, and it is also an important station of China-Europe Express. The timeliness of railway operation will be affected to varying degrees by strikes, resulting in delays in receiving goods from cargo owners. Senghor Logistics will contact our German customers immediately after understanding the above situation, so we will also have supporting solutions, such as sea freight, air freight, or sea-air combined transportation to ensure the smooth shipment of customers.
