BVG-Verdi Negotiations Collapse, Indefinite Strike Vote Set to Begin

The sixth round of wage talks ends without agreement as Verdi prepares for a strike vote, while BVG proposes mediation to prevent prolonged disruptions.

• The sixth round of negotiations between the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) and the Verdi union ended without a deal, as Verdi rejected BVG's latest offer.
• Verdi announced a vote on an indefinite strike, scheduled from March 26 to April 4, with a longer strike possible in April if approved by members.
• BVG proposed mediation to resolve the conflict, but Verdi has not yet decided whether to participate in the process.
• The key sticking point remains Verdi's demand for a 750-euro monthly pay raise, which BVG argues is financially unsustainable.
• Since January, Verdi has organized four strikes, including a recent two-day walkout, significantly disrupting Berlin's public transport services.
