The Verdi union has called for a two-day strike on February 27 and 28, affecting public transportation in Munich, amid ongoing negotiations with municipal employers. A majority of trams, subways, and buses will remain in the depots, leading to significant disruptions for commuters. The Munich Transport Company (MVG) is preparing for the strike with contingency plans, indicating that the extent of the impact will depend on the level of participation in the strike.

According to a spokesperson for MVG, while specific projections on service disruptions remain uncertain, noticeable limitations are expected. Commuters can use the Munich S-Bahn, which will not be affected by the strike, along with certain private bus services that are still operational. The ongoing labor dispute revolves around wage negotiations between Verdi and the municipal employers' associations, highlighting the continuing tensions in the labor market in Germany.

This strike is part of a broader trend of industrial action in response to increasing demands for fair wages and better working conditions across various sectors in Germany. The impact of the strike on daily commuters underscores the complexities of labor relations in public transport, and as negotiations continue, it remains to be seen how this conflict will evolve in the coming weeks.
