Germany is currently facing widespread public sector strikes, causing significant disruptions to services nationwide.
On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, public transport in Frankfurt came to a standstill as municipal workers joined Verdi's latest round of warning strikes.

These strikes are part of Verdi's nationwide campaign, demanding an 8% pay rise and better working conditions for over 2.5 million public sector employees.

Other cities, including Hanover and Essen, have already seen transport stoppages, with Hamburg bracing for major disruptions on Thursday.
