It is simply a “repetition of well-known maximum demands,” said a spokeswoman on Wednesday morning. “What Deutsche Bahn AG is doing is nothing other than the repeated rejection of all demands,” criticized GDL boss Claus Weselsky on Wednesday in the ZDF “Morgenmagazin”. The train only moves millimeters.

When asked when the union would negotiate again, the trade unionist said: “As soon as Deutsche Bahn comes down from its high horse.” The GDL boss told the magazine “Stern” about the length of the rail strike: “That is proportionate, that is permissible , that’s legal.” Regarding criticism of himself, he said: “It’s not like Weselsky is on strike. Tens of thousands of railway workers are on strike these six days.”
