Berlin : Berlin public transportation employees are to hold a 39-hour warning strike effective midnight Thursday, media reports quoted union officials as saying.
Berlin’s subways, busses, trams and municipal trains will be out of service as some 12,000 BVG public transportation workers will stage a walkout over demands for a 12 percent salary hike.
Most residents of Berlin as well as sightseeing foreign tourists depend heavily on the BVG to get around the city.
Germany had been the scene of repeated nationwide railway strikes over the past months.
