Germany: Massive strike could affect trains

Train drivers in Germany are engaged in a long-running dispute with train operator Deutsche Bahn over hours, pay and working conditions.

The German Train Drivers Association (GDL) unveiled a 'warning strike' for the country's public transport infrastructure in December. Deutsche Bahn has since blamed GDL for the unrelated situation, saying it operates as a business and an association that subsequently creates a subsidiary of a transient worker.

On the off chance that it is upheld by the court, the claims will mean GDL will never again be able to close the overall agreement with the railway companies.

Meanwhile, Germany's rail network could face strikes this month The five-day walkout from January 7 to 11 could affect Deutsche Bahn and S-Bahn.
