Bangkok, March 29: Drivers for the privately-run train network in Germany have launched another warning strike, demanding that all rail workers be paid equally.
The 24-hour industrial action was taken on Monday by six regional companies, dpa reported. Organized by drivers’ union, the GDL, it caused the good part of the privately-operated transportation system to grind to a halt.
The country’s public train service Deutsche Bahn was not affected by the move.
The GDL has launched several warning strikes so far.
Earlier this month, the union launched its first national strikes, which hit cargo and passenger traffic. About 800 GDL operators went on a six-hour strike during the morning rush hour, causing a major disruption in freight and passenger services across the country.
On February 22, a two-hour strike, which was staged after months of negotiations for salary increase, triggered numerous cancelations and delays.
