Germany: Unionized public transport workers plan to strike in Bremen March 19-20
Unionized public transport workers to stage strike in Bremen, Germany, March 19-20; disruptions to tram and bus services likely across city.
Unionized workers employed by Bremer Strassenbahn (BSAG), the primary tram and bus operator in Bremen, plan to strike March 19-20. The purpose of the labor action is to demand improved benefits and higher bonus payments. BSAG has announced that its tram and bus services will be suspended from around 03:00 March 19 until its operations start on March 21.
Disruptions will almost certainly affect tram and bus services across Bremen during the work stoppage. Picket protests are possible near transport hubs and at BSAG's operational headquarters on Flughafendamm. Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that materialize.
Seek alternative modes of transport if operating in Bremen during the work stoppage. Avoid any demonstrations that materialize as a standard precaution. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
