“Together against Covid-19” agreement

In March 2020, we concluded a temporary agreement, “Together against Covid-19,” with the Railway and Transport Workers Union (Eisenbahn- und Verkehrsgewerkschaft; EVG) and the German Train Drivers’ Union (Gewerkschaft Deutscher Lokomotivführer; GDL). In it, the collective bargaining partners agreed, among other things, in favor of providing support for parents contending with the closure of kindergartens and schools, as well as a commitment to secure jobs.
