Passengers in several Saxon cities will have to prepare themselves for an extensive standstill in local public transport on Monday (February 2). Employees of municipal transport companies in Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig and Zwickau have been called out on a day-long warning strike, according to the trade union Verdi. The walkout is part of nationwide warning strikes in local public transport.
With the work stoppages, Verdi aims to increase the pressure on municipal employers in parallel wage negotiations. According to the union, it is to be expected that traffic in the affected companies will largely come to a standstill. Warning strikes have also been announced in numerous other German cities on this day.
