Verdi Announces Nationwide Road‑Construction Strike to Demand Wage Hikes

The warning strikes will be staged at 18 sites, including major hubs in Nuremberg, Rostock, Stuttgart and Berlin. In North Rhine‑Westphalia, the union plans to strike all 28 state tunnels, a move that could bring about significant traffic restrictions. Emergency services have been arranged to handle accidents or other critical incidents. The strikes are intended to pressure authorities into resuming productive wage talks and to highlight the importance of fair pay in the infrastructure sector.
