Railway and traffic union: secure the future of the rails!

challenges for Germany's rail transport

The Railway and Transport Union (EVG) calls for urgent measures to secure and improve the staff in the operational area of ​​Deutsche Bahn. In view of the upcoming job cuts, the EVG expresses concerns and emphasizes how important a stable and sufficient workforce is for functioning rail traffic.

shortage of skilled workers as a central problem

The shortage of skilled workers represents one of the greatest challenges for the German economy. It is crucial to have enough qualified workers, especially in the turn of traffic, a central concern of German climate policy. The EVG emphasizes that the demographic change will lead to a decline in the available workers. This could continue to burden the infrastructure and rail traffic that had already been.

EVG claims to Deutsche Bahn

The EVG has formulated clear claims to improve the situation in rail transport. This includes:

• The implementation of all planned settings in the operational area.
• Long -term financing to improve and modernize rail infrastructure.
• The optimization of all processes within the DB group to promote the quality and digitization of the core business.

the need for a clear future plan

A recurring topic in the discussions is the need for a well -thought -out and financed future plan for Deutsche Bahn. The EVG argues that without a powerful splint, the traffic turnaround and thus also the ecological turn in Germany are at risk. The past has shown that failures in rail policy can have far -reaching negative effects.

The role of politics and the owner

The EVG appeals to politics and the owners to actively contribute and to support the required measures. The association requires that the risks of job reduction and inadequate staffing are not ignored. It is important to ensure that not only the existing jobs remain, but also created new ones to promote rail traffic in Germany.

The challenges in the field of rail transport are complex and require a coordinated approach. The dialogue between the EVG, Deutsche Bahn and politics is crucial to set the course for a positive development. The future of public transport in Germany can only be secured through joint action.
