Strike Chatter

Odds of another Bahn railway strike next week?  It's probably rated near 50-50 presently, and by the end of August?  Probably upwards to a 100-percent chance.

A lot of criticism was dumped on the union this week with the two-day strike.  Even today (Friday)....things are not yet back to 100-percent because various trains are at the wrong locations. 

Chances that the Bahn and union will come to some resolution?  I'd say presently that the 600 Euro 'bonus' for the Covid situation is a no-go.  But the longer contract that the Bahn talks about in their desires?  That's also probably a no-go.

All of this drives home the problem of  the Green Party wanting all in-country flights halted....to save the climate business.  There's just not that high of trust anymore with the Bahn on long trips that go across the country.
