"The major public transportation strikes that swept Hamburg and Frankfurt and some surrounding regions are over now, but regional actions are still taking place in some smaller municipalities in the states of Bavaria and Hesse. According to the Verdi trade union, cities in eastern Bavaria, including Regensburg, Passau and Landshut were affected by public transportation strikes on Friday. In those cities transport employees who are union members had been called to a full-day walkout, and significant cancellations in bus traffic were expected."
"The same applies in parts of Hesse, including in the state capital of Wiesbaden. There almost all buses remained parked in their depots. Drivers in the Hamburg area should be aware of additional traffic expected at the weekend. Due to a warning strike in the traffic operations centre for the Elbe Tunnel, and a full closure of the A7 starting Friday evening. Police therefore expect significant traffic disruptions."
Major public transportation strikes in Hamburg and Frankfurt have ended, but regional actions continue in smaller municipalities in Bavaria and Hesse. Verdi called full-day walkouts in eastern Bavarian cities Regensburg, Passau and Landshut, producing significant bus cancellations. Parts of Hesse, including Wiesbaden, saw nearly all buses parked in depots. A warning strike at the Elbe Tunnel traffic operations centre and a full closure of the A7 starting Friday evening are expected to increase weekend traffic and disruptions. Verdi is demanding a seven percent pay rise or at least €300 monthly for several sectors, and intermittent local warning strikes may continue until deals are reached.
