The strike is in response to DB’s third proposal during negotiations, which GDL finds unsatisfactory, prompting renewed calls for protests.

GDL is advocating for a reduction in weekly working hours from 38 to 35 without a decrease in wages, along with a €555 monthly wage increase and inflation compensation.

A previous strike occurred from January 9 to 12, affecting not only DB and GDL but also other unrelated companies.
