German Train Drivers On Strike
12th October 2007 German train drivers have gone on a one-day strike, disrupting services and bringing delays for commuters.Negotiations collapsed after train operator Deutsche Bahn's (DB) failure to improve its wage offer, the GDL union said.
The union says its train drivers are underpaid compared with counterparts elsewhere in Europe.
DB said about half of regional services were cancelled, but that long-distance rail services are "stable".
