Some good news for travels to and in Germany:
"Deutsche Bahn and the train drivers' union GDL have agreed on a wage increase in their collective bargaining negotiations. ... more details by DB press statement ...
The collective agreement has a term of two years and ends at the end of 2027 – at the same time as the collective agreement between Deutsche Bahn and the larger railway and transport union EVG. This means that there will be no warning strikes at Deutsche Bahn this year or next.
At the beginning of 2028, the federally owned company will then have to negotiate new collective agreements with both unions at the same time. It has been agreed with the GDL that the peace obligation will still apply in the first quarter of 2028, meaning that the train drivers' union cannot call for industrial action at Deutsche Bahn again until April 2028 at the earliest."
Notice: It is still possible that union ver.di calls for strikes but the most striking GDL and EVG are save for nearly two years.
