wage cuts for the initial public offering
4 November 2007 - Interview with Enrico Forchheim, head of the local GDL-Group of the Berlin suburban railway. Since 2003 the rail staff had to go through wage cuts, because the German Rail was to be "prepared for the IPO". The result would have been, that "the colleagues had to work up to 18 more days a year without wage adjustment, that would be the reduction of a whole monthly salary!"

4 November 2007 - Interview with Enrico Forchheim, head of the local GDL-Group of the Berlin suburban railway. GDL was accused to have cancelled the Solidarity Group within the German Rail (DB). Forchheim argues against that: 1994 the German Rail Executive Board earned an average of 300.000 DM, today it is 2,1 millions Euro.

the Spirit
4 November 2007 - Interview with Enrico Forchheim, head of the local GDL-Group of the Berlin suburban railway. It wouldn't have succeeded if the GDL had only gone on strike in regional transport. Now that there is a verdict which legalises the strike on freight transportation, the chances for the head of German Rail Mehdorn are bad. The way the GDL was attacked in public led to a resolute and battlesome ... more

Finally some damage to the national economy!
»I assume that once the next strike is on our workmates will form discussion groups in order to debate about the 'here and now'. This is how it was during the last strike, colleagues debated a lot and could not stop talking. There wasn't a moment when you were alone with your thoughts for more than five minutes.«

"Nicht Bahnchef Mehdorn ist durchgeknallt. Es ist die Bundesregierung selbst, die die harte Linie vorgibt. Sie setzt Hunderte Millionen Euro an Steuergeldern ein, um den Streik zu brechen. Und um die GDL exemplarisch zu disziplinieren." (bahnstreik-soli.de)

Offener Brief an Mehdorn
"Ist Ihnen bekannt, dass meine famose Interessenvertretung, der mehrheitlich von der Transnet gesteuerte Gesamtbetriebsrat, mit dem Management eine Betriebsvereinbarung geschlossen hat, die es, vorbei an jeglichen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen, erlaubt, Schichten mit bis zu 14 Stunden zu planen, wobei dann der AN zwei Stunden unbezahlt als „Pause" zu übernehmen hat?"
