The all-day traffic warning strike on Monday morning in and around Hamburg did not result in fuller streets. “We have a normal traffic situation, like every Monday at this time,” said a spokesman for the Hamburg police.
Public transport in Germany has largely been at a standstill for 24 hours since midnight. In addition to rail traffic, almost all airports, waterways, federal motorways and local public transport in seven federal states are affected by the EVG and Verdi warning strike. With the actions, the unions want to increase the pressure on employers in their respective collective bargaining.
