Germany's train drivers' union, GDL, has announced the early end of their six-day strike and is back in talks with the country's national railway operator, Deutsche Bahn. The strike, which has caused severe disruptions to passenger train services since Wednesday, will come to an end on Monday morning at 2 a.m. instead of the previously planned 6 p.m. Moreover, the freight transport strike will conclude on Sunday evening at 6 p.m.
This week's strike marks the fourth one carried out by the GDL union during the ongoing negotiations with Deutsche Bahn. The union has been vocal about their demands regarding working hours and pay, leading to a bitter dispute with the state-owned railway operator.
