Germany braces for transport 'mega-strike'

BERLIN: Transport staff across Germany are set to stage a major strike on Monday to push for wage hikes in the face of brisk inflation, as passengers brace for serious disruptions.

He acknowledged that it would inflict pain on many commuters and holidaymakers,"but better one day of strain with the prospect of reaching a wage agreement than weeks of industrial action". The rare joint call for a strike in Germany marks an escalation of an increasingly ill-tempered dispute over a pay packet to blunt the impact of surging inflation.

DB's Martin Seiler, responsible for human resources on the company's management board, described the nationwide strike as"groundless and unnecessary" and urged the unions to return to the negotiating table"immediately". Employers have accused labour representatives of contributing to a wage-price spiral that will only feed inflation, while unions say their members have been asked to bear the burden of the soaring cost of living.
