Hello, warning strikes in local and long-distance transport have been quite common lately. For this reason, I wanted to ask what the situation is if I don't have a driver's license, both buses and trains are on strike, and I'm unable to cycle to my work site (for my voluntary social year) due to physical…

The next collective bargaining negotiations are scheduled to continue on March 20th. I can well imagine there being another strike before then (to exert pressure). What do you think will…
