Escalating Alerts Persist in Lower Saxony

Public Sector Disruption: Another Round of Warnings Strikes Hits Lower Saxony

Persisting labor protests in Lower Saxony - Escalating Alerts Persist in Lower Saxony

Hey there! In the upcoming days, Lower Saxony is bracing for another round of disruptions as public sector workers stage more warning strikes. Starting as early as Thursday, you can expect some services to be affected across the state.

Take, for instance, the trams in Hannover, which will be off the line on Thursday. The union Verdi has announced a full-day warning strike in Lower Saxony on March 13th. And let's not forget that in some areas and regions, workers have already downed tools on Wednesday.

So, what's next? On Thursday, things will be slim in Oldenburg. Only emergency services will be running at the clinic, daycare centers, and public administration. In Göttingen, daycare centers might be shut down entirely or operating at very low capacity.

In Osnabrück, employees of the transport company teutobus will go on strike. And if you're in Amt Neuhaus near Lüneburg, expect some bus cancellations until Wednesday, except for weekends.

Keep an eye out for planned warning strikes in various districts across Lower Saxony, including Hameln-Pyrmont, Wolfenbüttel among waste management workers, and in the districts of Ammerland, Aurich, Friesland, Wittmund, and Wesermarsch among emergency services.

Intriguing, right? If you're interested, there's a rally planned in Hannover on the Opernplatz on Thursday at 11:30 AM, with up to 15,000 participants as per the police. Plus, you can catch several demonstration trains before the rally commences. A demonstration march is also planned in Aurich at 10:00 AM.

As negotiations are set to resume on Friday, union workers are pushing for various demands, such as three additional free days, higher allowances for demanding tasks, and a 8% increase in pay, translating to at least 350 euros per month. The employers' side remains silent regarding their offer as of now.
