BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – Employees of the Berliner Stadtreinigung (BSR) went on a warning strike again on Thursday. As the Verdi union announced, employees should stop working from 5:45 a.m. to midnight. Several BSR systems and landfills in the city are affected. According to Verdi department head Marcus Borck, the strikes should mean that garbage from the city cannot be picked up and transported to the farms again. “That’s our strategy,” he told the dpa news agency. A rally at the Ruhleben waste-to-energy plant is planned from 9:00 a.m. Borck spoke of a “very large willingness to strike in the company”. The employers’ offers in the collective bargaining have so far been “completely inadequate”, it said./pen/DP/zb
