National Busstreik in Schleswig-Holstein: Protests planned in Kiel!

Auguste-Viktoria-Straße, 24103 Kiel, Deutschland - in Schleswig-Holstein there is a massive failure in public transport! After a warning strike in some circles, the ver.di union calls for a nationwide strike in private bus industry for Wednesday. A large demonstration is expected in Kiel, while the buses will stop at all operating heads of private bus companies from the start of the service. The strike is the consequence of failed collective bargaining with the Omnibusverband Nord (OVN), which resulted from the reduced financing by the state government.

The union requires, among other things, a wage increase of 275 euros and an inflation premium of 850 euros. On the other hand, the OVN emphasizes that negotiations can only be led "at the table and not on the street". The employers are willing to talk, but it remains to be seen whether an agreement can be reached in the upcoming talks. In addition to the buses, the Verkehrsbetriebe Kreis Plön, which are also integrated into the warning strike, are also affected.
