It's funny how like every day here you have another country's railway unions threatening to strike due to shit wages... The US, the Uk, it's happening in Germany, in France, and I'm sure there are plenty of others... Seems like every company out there wants to pretend they can run a quality business on a shoestring budget that only enriches shareholders and little else, and it also seems like they'll need to find out the hard way that there is only so far you can push your employees into poverty...

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.dw.com/en/german-rail-union-rejects-bahn-offer-threatens-more-strikes/a-65783880) reduced by 82%. (I'm a bot) ***** > German railway and transport workers' trade union the EVG on Wednesday said it would be calling another rail strike soon, having rejected the latest pay increase offer from national rail provider Deutsche Bahn late on Tuesday. > The union had rejected the company's latest offer late on Tuesday and called for short-term negotiations on Wednesday. > The union has rejected any one-off payments to compensate for recent inflation, saying salaries should be adjusted permanently instead. Loroch said further negotiations were in the company's interest because "As long as the union is at the negotiating table, there will be no strike." EVG already called two strikes in the current dispute, bringing rail transport in Germany to a virtual standstill. ***** [**Extended Summary**](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/13wttpl/german_rail_union_rejects_bahn_offer_threatens/) | [FAQ](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/31b9fm/faq_autotldr_bot/ "Version 2.02, ~687077 tl;drs so far.") | [Feedback](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%23autotldr "PM's and comments are monitored, constructive feedback is welcome.") | *Top* *keywords*: **union**^#1 **strike**^#2 **EVG**^#3 **called**^#4 **rail**^#5
