Rail Strike Looms As Talks Between GDL And Deutsche Bahn Break Down

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 04: Passengers use an escalator at a platform behind a timetable with the advice for a strike by the GDL at the Berliner Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Main Railway Station) on November 4, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. Germany is facing a possible four-day nationwide railway strike following the recent collapse of negotiations between the GDL train drivers union and German state rail carrier Deutsche Bahn. The GDL is demanding fewer working hours and better pay for its members and recently turned down a proposal by Deutsche Bahn that it claims would have curbed its right to strike in the future.
