Germany faces a broader wave of transport disruption after the GDL train drivers’ union announced strikes in a bid to push through higher wages and shorter working hours, with actions set to stretch over three days at its passenger operations and four days at its cargo unit.

Union members may strike between 2 a.m. local time on Jan. 10 through 6 p.m. on Jan. 12 at the passenger operations, the Gewerkschaft Deutscher Lokomotivführer said Sunday in a statement. Strikes at the cargo operations are supposed to start at 6 p.m. on Jan. 9.
