German Train Strike Ends Early, Talks Resume

No further strikes planned until March 3 as Deutsche Bahn and the union negotiate over pay and working hours.

The German Train Drivers' Union (GDL) is ending its six-day strike early, with passenger train services resuming Monday morning at 2 a.m. (0100 GMT), and freight transport ending Sunday evening at 6 p.m. (1700 GMT).
This strike was the fourth by the GDL in ongoing negotiations with the country's main railway operator, Deutsche Bahn, over working hours and pay.
Both parties have resumed talks and have agreed there will be no further strikes until March 3.
In addition to pay raises, the GDL has been demanding a reduction in working hours from 38 to 35 per week without a pay cut, a demand Deutsche Bahn has so far refused.
