Staff in regional transport will also stop working on Tuesday, February 28 and Thursday, March 2 if the requirements have not been met by then, the CNV union reports. Regional transport will also stop work on Wednesday and Friday.
CNV says that employers have had a week to come up with a new collective labor agreement. But so far that has not yielded enough, according to the union.
That is why two action days are scheduled for next week. Trade unions CNV and FNV call on staff in regional transport to join the strike.
The employees want a new collective labor agreement with wages that increase in line with inflation. FNV demands a wage increase of 16.9 percent for a collective labor agreement for one year, CNV demands 14 percent spread over eighteen months.
Two weeks ago, staff in regional transport went on strike for five days. The willingness to take action was high at the time: about 80 percent of the scheduled employees went on strike every day.
