The train drivers' strike in Germany

Stephan Hebel explains what is really at stake in the strike of German train drivers, namely "the question of how much value is (still) placed on skilled work in today's internationally networked, service-oriented society". He points out that the demands on train drivers have risen considerably: "In accordance with his strict shift schedule, the train driver must always arrive punctually because Porsche no longer keeps the countless components in stock but now produces them on a 'just in time' basis, and therefore depends on efficient logistics at dozens of different points. From the manager who is rushing to keep his appointment with a Chinese businessman at Frankfurt Airport to the carmaker in Leipzig, Germany, renowned for its quality products, depends on service providers like the Deutsche Bahn. This has radically changed many job profiles, including that of the train driver, and the pressure at work certainly won't have decreased under these circumstances. Therefore it's precisely because they've recognised the challenges of globalisation that the train drivers want more money - not because they yearn for a return to the times when railway officials were poorly paid but enjoyed life-long job security."
