BERLIN, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Strike action on Germany's national rail network will affect millions of commuters from Tuesday morning, unions said on Monday without clarifying which regions will be worst hit.
Unions Transnet and GDBA said the action will continue during the week to back their demand that national operator Deutsche Bahn and private operators improve their offers in wage negotiations that have reached an impasse.
"It cannot be allowed for colleagues to receive up to 20 percent less pay for the same work, especially when the private operators use this type of wage dumping as a competitive edge to win contracts," the unions said in a statement. (Reporting by Brian Rohan, editing by Tim Pearce)
