Overview
- Verdi said Saturday that buses, trams, and subways in Munich, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg, Fürth, Bayreuth, Dachau, Passau, Landshut, and Schweinfurt will be hit Tuesday, with S-Bahn and regional trains operating as usual.
- Operators are preparing emergency timetables to keep a basic service, and Munich’s MVG warned subways and trams may not start at first as private bus contractors cover part of the network.
- The union now demands a €550 pay rise in two steps over 24 months plus rules to reduce weekly working time, citing similar deals reached in other states.
- Employers say the package is unrealistic even after they improved their offer, and they point to strained city budgets and high energy costs.
- Strikes continue through the weekend in Bamberg and Bayreuth, and a separate two-day stoppage is planned in Ulm on April 13–14 as pressure builds before talks on Wednesday, April 15.
