BVG trains and buses have been standing still in Berlin since the morning

Since January, local transport in Berlin has been largely stationary. There is no progress at the negotiating table. The union increases the pressure on the company.

The negotiations between the BVG and the Verdi trade union have failed, and what this could mean for Berlin.

Due to the blocking of the Ringbahnbrücke on the A100, the Berliners have to adjust to traffic jams. The strike of the Berlin transport companies additionally burdens traffic.

The BVG has been on strike again since the morning, there are no underground and trams and hardly any buses in Berlin. An agreement on a new collective agreement is pending - an indefinite strike is not excluded.

Entrepreneurs complain when the BVG is on strike for two days. How should they feel when there is a statutory permanent strike. The union should not let itself be misled by this?

Since January, local transport in the German capital has been largely silent on several occasions – last two days at a time. Now, a considerably longer strike could occur on Berlin passengers: because, according to BVG, there was no rapprochement in the sixth round of collective bargaining with Verdi.
