Germany: Strike brings public transport network to halt | Details

On Monday, two of the biggest unions in Germany will go on strike, bringing the country's transportation system to a virtual halt. Soon after midnight, employees at ports, railroads, buses, and subways began to leave for a 24-hour strike. In order to help their members deal with the nationwide rise in living expenses, unions are calling for increased pay.
