On the 10th local time, due to the breakdown of labor negotiations, the German train drivers' union called a large-scale strike throughout Germany from 2 o'clock on the same day, and the strike is expected to last until 18 o'clock on the 12th.
The strike is expected to result in the cancellation of around 80 percent of long-distance transport services throughout Germany, as well as the complete suspension of regional trains in most federal states.
According to Deutsche Bahn, from 2 a.m. on the 10th, a large number of employees in the passenger sector have joined the strike action, and the freight sector has even begun to strike since the evening of the 9th.

According to the German "Munich Mercury Zeitung", German freight, logistics and other associations also threatened to strike**, demanding a reduction in tolls and diesel taxes.
