BERLIN (Reuters) - German train drivers walked off the job again on Wednesday in what is set to be Germany's longest-ever rail strike, spelling more headaches for commuters with scant signs of a return to the negotiating table on the horizon. A spokesperson for the national rail operator spoke of renewed "massive restrictions" across the country. That is the only way," the spokesperson told reporters, pointing to the six-day strike's "massive impact on the economy". Drivers in rail freight are holding a simultaneous strike. "We have to strike longer and harder because the railway management is resistant to advice," he said.

☆ A six-day train strike is the last thing the German economy needs

London CNN —Germany is bracing for widespread disruption to rail services after train drivers embarked on a record six-day strike Wednesday, which will further strain crucial supply chains and deal a new blow to the sputtering economy. The state-owned rail operator said the action would cause “massive disruptions” to long-distance, regional and city commuter services until Monday. That was a major drag on the economy overall, with gross domestic product falling 0.3% in 2023, likely the weakest performance among Europe’s big countries. The strike represents “a major logistical challenge” for the chemical and pharmaceutical sector, the German Chemicals Industry Association told CNN. Germany’s supply chains are already struggling because of attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

☆ Rail Workers in Germany Start 6-Day Strike Over Pay and Hours
  + stars: | 2024-01-23 | by ( Christopher F. Schuetze | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Passenger train drivers in Germany walked off the job on Wednesday and vowed not to return for six days in a strike over working conditions and pay that is expected to halt most long-distance and commuter rail travel across the country. The strike, one of the most significant on the national rail service in years, was announced on Monday by Claus Weselsky, the chairman of the G.D.L., a union that represents German train drivers. The rail strike, the fourth in two months, comes amid a risk of reduced funding for the rail system after a court decision that stopped the government from repurposing money from a coronavirus pandemic fund for green projects. It also comes amid a trend of worsening performance of German trains. Drivers of cargo trains started the strike on Tuesday evening.
