Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): While transport workers across Germany are conducting the biggest nationwide strike in the last 30 years to increase their wages to face high inflation, passengers in this country are facing the biggest strike in the last 30 years. Commute disruption is being prepared.
The English newspaper Guardian wrote in this regard, today (Monday, 7 Hamel), for 24 hours, the employees of airports, ports, railway lines, buses and metro lines throughout the country of Germany (Germany), which has the largest economy in Europe, "Verdi" and "AVG" unions have gone on strike.
According to the Fars news agency, Frank Werneke, head of the Verdi union, told the Phoenix channel: "The struggle and effort of the worker, which has no effect, is senseless."
He continued that although the nationwide strike in Germany is causing suffering and hardship to many travelers and tourists, "one day of pressure with the prospect of reaching an agreement on wages is better than several weeks of industrial action."
According to this report, Volker Wissing, the Minister of Transport of Germany, in order to prevent gaps in the provision of transport services, ordered the German states to cancel the restriction of truck service by the end of Sunday and from Airports requested to allow flights and landings until the end of the night "so that stranded passengers can reach their destination".
According to the Guardian, Verdi represents 2.5 million public sector workers, while EV Jinmeinde represents 230,000 rail and bus workers in Germany.
A rare joint call by two unions in Germany for a nationwide strike marks a deepening dispute over rail workers' wages at a time when inflation is on the rise in the world's largest economy.
According to this report, Verdi wants a 10.5% increase in monthly salaries, while EVG is seeking a 12% increase in the salaries of the people that this union represents.
However, the employers, who are mainly state-owned enterprises and the public sector, have so far rejected these requests and instead offered a five percent increase with two one-time payments of 1,100 and 1,500 euros this year and next.
State-owned rail company Deutsche Bahn (DB) has completely suspended all long-distance trains and many regional and local connections in anticipation of Monday's shutdown.
The German Airport Association said the strikes were "beyond any conceivable and justifiable action" and an estimated 380,000 air passengers across Germany would be affected.
