In 4 daysLast Updated:
ver.di Nord has announced a two-day warning strike on 8 and 9 September 2026 in Schleswig-Holstein's municipal bus sector. The stoppage is set to hit public bus operators in Kiel (KVG), Lübeck (Stadtverkehr Lübeck), Flensburg (Aktivbus), Neumünster (SWN) and the Verkehrsbetriebe Kreis Plön GmbH, after the second bargaining round ended without agreement. The dispute centres on ver.di's pay claim of 6.5% and a yearly €650 payment for union members, which employers reject. Regional buses and trains run normally.
This alert was originally created on 4 September 2026.
