In the SZ interview, human resources director Martin Seiler offered, among other things, the option of 35 hours of working time to train drivers for the first time. In return, GDL boss Claus Weselsky should forgo strikes lasting several days starting next week.
It could be uncomfortable for train travelers in the coming days: GDL union leader Claus Weselsky is now even planning a three to five day strike after the warning strikes in 2023.

In the interview, the manager explains what he wants to offer the GDL in order to save the passengers another industrial dispute.
