[HIGHLIGHTS] Rail wage dispute: 12 percent are not enough - union EVG rejects offer of the railway, strikes threaten

The EVG union has rejected Deutsche Bahn's current offer of wage increases for a good 180,000 employees. The railway has gradually promised employees an increase of twelve percent in the lower wage groups.

The union, on the other hand, is demanding a fixed amount of at least 650 euros per month, more or twelve percent for the upper wage groups, according to their ideas. The EDC must now signal that it is moving from its original demand towards compromise, says Chief Human Resources Officer Martin Seiler.
