Deutsche Bahn decided not to aggravate the situation with trade unions and will pay employees 1,000 euros
After months of negotiations, the German railway operator and the GDL railway union reached an agreement. Deutsche Bahn pledged to raise employee salaries by 3.3%. In addition, the operator will pay them one-time premiums in connection with the pandemic totaling up to one thousand euros.
Railway workers went on strike three times in the midst of the summer holidays, causing a lot of inconvenience to residents of Germany and tourists.
Meanwhile, it became known that another large trade union - EVG - is preparing to present the concern with a list of its demands.
