Railway workers fight for higher wages
A performance-related bonus was paid to all Management Board members in the past year. According to the annual reports, the board members did not receive such bonuses in 2021 and 2020.
In 2022, Deutsche Bahn was struggling with numerous infrastructure problems and poor punctuality. The group is currently negotiating with the EVG union about a new collective agreement for around 180,000 employees. The EVG demands at least 650 euros more per month for all employees or twelve percent more money for the upper wage groups.
Among other things, Deutsche Bahn has offered to raise wages in two steps by a total of five percent. In addition, one-time payments of a total of 2500 euros were promised. The EVG rejects this.
