Verdi Union Calls for 48-Hour Strike of Buses and Trams in Bremen

Bremen (dpa / lni) – With a warning strike, the Verdi union wants to paralyze buses and trams of the Bremen transport company BSAG for 48 hours from Tuesday (from 3 a.m.). According to its own statements, Bremer Strassenbahn AG is not planning an emergency timetable. “We are on strike,” says the company’s website. According to Verdi, local transport from other providers such as Deutsche Bahn, Nordwestbahn and bus companies from the Bremen area is not affected. The walkouts were intended to increase pressure on employers ahead of the fifth round of negotiations with BSAG on May 9.
