German train drivers union halts strikes to negotiate
==========
Germany's Deutsche Bahn railways and the GDL train drivers' union have returned to the negotiating table after a wave of strikes demanding better pay. The talks are "intensive and constructive" and taking place in "small committees and behind closed doors". Both sides are confident of being able to announce a result next week. The train drivers have walked out six times since November, including a 24-hour stoppage last Tuesday. GDL wants more money for its members as well as a 35-hour week for the same salary as the current 38-hour week. Deutsche Bahn has offered up to 13 percent more pay and the option of cutting the working week down to 37 hours starting in 2026.
