1 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,900 Train operators, you are striking our nerves! 2 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,900 One more thing, please don't let yourself get provoked by anthing. 3 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,900 You are all relaxed, so there will be no trouble. 4 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,900 And there will be info material to spread to the passengers. 5 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,900 And people who just want to create stress, just leave them standing. 6 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,900 If you cannot access them, just leave them alone. We don't need provocation. 7 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,900 - Do we take our bags? - We can leave them here. 8 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,900 Because of the work conditions nowadays there is hardly time for the family, 9 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,900 for spare time, there is hardly any relaxation. 10 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,900 We want to do a protest march, first Central Station, then Potsdamer Platz. 11 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,900 Let's see if we can call attention among the population. 12 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,900 They are also deluded by the media. 13 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,900 There are no lies, but no truths. 14 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,900 We will positions ourselves at the entrance to demonstrate presence. 15 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,900 To show we are here.

It's 50 billions a day, what you do here. 18 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,900 And not enough. Audi stopped producing, they cannot build anymore. Thank you! 19 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,900 - If you talk like that... - I have no understanding anymore... 20 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,900 - What you told me, call Mr Mehdorn (head DB) and tell him. 21 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,900 Then it would be fair. But just blaming the ones who fight for themselves is wrong. 22 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,900 You have to tell ... - But the people on welfare, they have nothing. 23 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,900 Those are the real losers. You are not a loser in this state. 24 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,900 You do have an income, even if not like others, uppers, but you have something. 25 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,900 - Yes. And for long is that going to be? 26 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,900 - That we will see. But 50 billions a day ... - 50 billions ... 27 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,900 - Hello. - Hello. 28 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,900 Is it exhausting to always go back on strike, when one isn't heard? 29 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,900 Yes, it is exhausting. 30 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,900 - Is there hope that it will get better? - Yes. Else we would not be here. 31 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,900 It is not such a good feeling to leave the trains not running. 32 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,900 Because we want to carry the passengers. 33 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,900 But if up there..., they don't listen... 34 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,900 Our demand is an independent collective agreement. 35 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,900 And when we meet people we want to tell them, 36 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,900 that there are many lies spread by the media. 37 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,900 That falsehood is spread by the DB. 38 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,900 That is our target here. 39 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,900 The executive board tells lies. 40 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,900 That's it. 41 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,900 How does a regular day of work proceed? Does it change often ? 42 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:35,900 Yes, it's shift work. Get up and come home at impossible times of the day. 43 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,900 But as I said, we both operate trains, and we work parallel. 44 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,900 So it's kind of ok. 45 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,900 - Since when are you operators? - Me, since 1982. 46 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,900 - Me since 1992. 47 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,900 - How long do you have to work until pension? 48 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,900 - Well if it starts at 67, then 17 years. - And me, 20. 49 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,900 - Can you imagine that ? - No. 50 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,900 - No, rather not. We do not want to image that. 51 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,900 - With this stress nowadays. Which is because they don't have the manpower. 52 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,900 They prolong the shifts more and more. 53 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,300 Dear workmates, ladies and gentleman, dear passengers, 54 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,900 as you notice there isn't much service with the DB today. 55 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,900 It's the single fault of the DB executive board, Mr. Mehrdorn, Fr. Suckale, 56 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,900 Dr. Rausch, Mr. Bensel, whatever the names of these great millionaires are. 57 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,900 Unregular shift work, shift start at all kinds of unregular hours, 58 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,900 11 pm., 1 am., 1.30 am., end of shift at the same impossible hours. 59 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,900 Dropped of in the wilderness, now see how you get home... 60 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,900 I actually think it's right. If they think they have too little money. 61 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,900 Without them many things would not go on in Germany. 62 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,900 We often hear in the media and we read in the papers, 63 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,900 that we with our labor dispute endanger the economical upturn. 64 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,900 Ladies and Gentleman, dear colleagues, I have to ask: which upturn? 65 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,900 The upturn of the millionaires? With us there is no upturn. 66 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,900 We have seen a new employer association was founded, 67 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,900 and as it was founded, it built itself a new union. 68 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,300 This union recently demonstrated in Berlin and protested against minimum wage. 69 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,900 This you have to imagine, the colleagues go out on the street saying: 70 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,900 We don't want that much. Unbelievable things happen in Germany. 71 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,900 Employer associations found their own labor unions 72 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,900 to sell the population, which is still earning too much. 73 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,900 Yes, Hartmut has his own union, Hartmut Mehdorn. 74 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,900 - But he got it cheap! - He bought it at LIDL. 75 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,900 But now they are almost all running from him. 76 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,900 Well, come here if you want to say something, people, no fear. 77 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,900 Wolfgang, you want to say something? 78 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,900 The colleague Wolfgang Lange wanted to say something. 79 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,900 - He is afraid of the tribunal. 80 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,900 - It's from today. - No. Just like last week. 81 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,900 - 7 % increase of income. 82 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,900 Yeah. But it donesn't say, I have to work 2 more hours for that. 83 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,900 - In the past 10 years the wages went down 10 %. 84 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,900 - As I said it's very important to send a signal and hang in there. 85 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,900 Thus send a signal that shows what is really going on. 86 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,900 The big ones fill their pockets and the small... 87 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,900 3,2 millions Mr. Mehdorn makes a year. Unbelievable. Impertinent. 88 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,900 - And the 2.000 Euros I don't get, either. 89 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,900 - But the people are very patient, the passengers understand. 90 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,400 Nobody complains, people arrange themselves, it's all ok. 91 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,900 Just keep up. You will make it, alright ?
