The promised law must enter the Bundestag this year, says trade union head Burkert and makes it clear: "Otherwise, we will paralyze the company in January."
Since the fatal attack on a train attendant in a regional express at the beginning of February, measures for greater safety have been discussed. The railway union EVG now demands results - and threatens to block the schedules.
The railway and transport unions are threatening to strike regional transport across Germany.
The railway union EVG demands tougher penalties for attacks on the train personnel. After the death of a DB employee in the ticket control, the politics promised sharper laws, the EVG boss moans. If nothing else happens, there is a strike.
Pöbeleien and assaults are a bitter day at work: Train attendants in Germany do not feel sufficiently protected by legislators. Now the trade union EVG becomes clear.
According to the railway union EVG, the operation in regional transport will be paralyzed in January if the penalty for attacks on train attendants should not be tightened after the death of Serkan Çalar. Also the entire works council at DB Regio threatens with a "train standstill".
