StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEVer.di walkout halts buses, trams and many subways nationwide; Canada adds replacement school bus drivers as U.S., U.K. public workers strike
Local-transport workers in Germany launched a 48-hour nationwide strike on February 27, suspending buses, trams and many underground lines across all 16 states. The walkout, called by the public-service union Ver.di, involves about 100,000 employees at 150 municipal operators and triggered rush-hour gridlock in major hubs as commuters shifted to cars and regional trains, while S-Bahn and long-distance Deutsche Bahn services continued. Ver.di seeks shorter weekly hours, longer rest between shifts and higher premiums for night and weekend work; employers cite financial strains after inflation and energy-price shocks. Talks are due to resume on March 4, and the union has warned of further escalation.
Elsewhere in transport, more than a dozen school bus routes in North Bay and Parry Sound, Canada, resumed with replacement drivers during an Alouette Bus Lines strike. In the U.S. public sector, more than 100 Lorain County Job and Family Services workers remain on strike after February 18 and have filed unfair labor practice charges against county commissioners. Separately, Argentina’s Senate approved a Milei-backed labor reform that limits the right to strike and loosens hiring and dismissal rules.
Simultaneous transport and public-sector strikes in Germany, Canada and the United States coincide with Argentina’s new limits on strike rights, highlighting active disputes alongside regulatory change.
