THE BAHN STRIKE IN GERMANY.


The bahn strike in Germany that lasted for about fourty eight hours and resulted in the cancelation and delays of both the domestic and foreign trains scheduled depatures and arrivals that may seem strange for many experts because the Deutsche- Bahn workers trade unions emphasized their demand for equal tariffs, equal earnings and employment benefits for private train companies operating in Germany, despite their over twenty percent (20%) additional employment earnings and benefits, when compared to the private train companies in Germany may have been an indication of the diminishing Deutsche Bahn competitiveness that may soon, or later require merger with more competitive private train companies operating in Germany whose employees should not be underpaid.
