GDL strike: Empty tracks, full roads, poison for the traffic transition
The strike by the GDL train drivers' union at Deutsche Bahn led to crowded highways in North Rhine-Westphalia on Tuesday. According to the ADAC, there were longer traffic jams than usual in the morning. Commuters needed a lot of patience, for example, on the A3 between Cologne and Oberhausen, the A40 between Duisburg and Essen, or the A46 between Wuppertal and Düsseldorf.
The railway had set up an emergency timetable for regional traffic in NRW, which, according to a spokesperson, was launched as planned in the morning. Accordingly, despite the strike, trains ran regularly on four lines, while 17 lines operated with reduced frequency. There was no service on 21 lines.
Trains on lines operated by railway competitors ran normally. These include the RRX trains of National Express running between the Rhineland and Westphalia as well as the lines of Eurobahn, which operate in the Münsterland and East Westphalia regions. After the strike ends early Wednesday morning, Deutsche Bahn plans to return to the regular schedule in NRW.
The GDL had called for the sixth industrial action in the ongoing wage dispute. Since Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, passenger traffic was interrupted for 24 hours. In freight traffic, the strike had already begun on Monday at 6:00 PM. A GDL representative in Cologne expressed satisfaction with the strike participation on Tuesday morning.
The union is fighting for higher wages and less working hours. The sticking point remains the demand that shift workers work 35 hours instead of 38 hours per week for the same pay. In mediation, the railway had accepted a compromise proposal. This proposed to reduce working hours to 36 hours in two steps by 2028. The GDL rejected it and let the talks fail.
Meanwhile, strikes are also looming in local public transportation. Verdi NRW declared on Tuesday that the wage negotiations with the municipal transport companies had failed. Before Easter, Verdi members are to decide in a ballot about indefinite strikes. This wage dispute also involves, among other things, fewer working days for the approximately 30,000 employees. The union had already largely paralyzed public transportation in NRW in the past weeks with several strike warnings of one or two days each.
