Strikes forced largest transport company to raise salary

The largest railway operator in Germany Deutsche Bahn, which is responsible for the German “land-based subway,” said he was ready to raise salaries to employees. According to the Associated Press, a series of strikes forced the Deutsche Bahn transport company to raise the salary by about 3.3 percent for 32 months and during this period twice to pay employees from 800 to 1000 euros (940-1180 dollars).

Head of the Trade Union of Machinists Klaus Vesselsky called the deal with a “good compromise” for both sides. The agreement that stopped the strikers of strikes was made possible by the intervention of the two governors. The last strike in early September has lasted a week and touched upon many passengers and travelers returning home from vacation.

Due to pressure that trade unions on companies and entire industries, some enterprises are trying to prevent the formation of workers’ associations. For example, among the famous opponents of trade unions – AMAZON TECHNICANT. The company even dismissed employees for trying to fight for their rights.

A similar practice exists in TESLA. Director General of the manufacturer of electrocars Ilon Musk has repeatedly spoke out against trade unions. However, after the company fired the activist Richard Ortis, US authorities obliged a mask to remove tweets with criticism of trade unions and restore the employee at work.
