Nachrichten - Aktuell - News - sueddeutsche.de Bahn-Streik zermürbt Hunderttausende Pendler Rail Strike Punishes Hundreds of Thousands of Commuters
Die Lokführergewerkschaft GDL hat am Morgen mit ihrem zweiten Streik innerhalb einer Woche begonnen. Regional- und S-Bahn-Verkehr in ganz Deutschland sind davon beeinträchtigt. Bestreikt werden vor allem Strecken in den neuen Bundesländern sowie in den Ballungsräumen der Großstädte. The train drivers union GDL commenced its second strike in a week this morning. Regional and local S-Bahn connections throughout Germany are affected. The strikes focus primarily on the new federal states [= eastern Germany] and the metropolitan regions of major cities.

@ someone: Thank you, thank you, thank you! It works like a charm.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

It is peculiar, that the BBC was reporting this morning, not abut the strike in Germany, but the looming one in France...
