By AP News Published Aug 28, 2023 07:22 am BERLIN (AP) — Germany's rail workers will not go on open-ended strikes after less than 50% of union members voted in favor, German news agency dpa reported Monday. A vote of 75% in favor would have been necessary for all-out strike action. The ballot was preceded by months of staged hours-long or one-day 'warning strikes,' called by the EVG union, a common tactic in German wage negotiations. A majority of workers also voted in favor of a recommendation that emerged from arbitration between EVG and the rail operator, Deutsche Bahn.
