The Trade Union of German Locomotive Drivers GDL will go on strike from 10 to 12 January.
“GDL members at Deutsche Bahn AG, Transdev and City Bahn Chemnitz have been asked to stop work from 10/01/2024 at 02:00 a.m. to 12/01/2024 at 06:00 p.m. The work suspension at DB Cargo begins on 09/01/2024 at 06:00 p.m.,” said a statement.
The locomotive drivers of METRANS are not organised in the GDL, while the participation of DB Netz infrastructure workers is still unknown.
Meanwhile, the German Farmers’ Association started blockades at important traffic junctions and access roads on 8 January at 05:00 a.m., while strikes of public transportation are also expected from 10 January.
“As a result, severe delays are to be expected on inland transportation, including deliveries that cannot be performed at all,” pointed out Maersk in a recent customer advisory.
