Dortmund (Germany), Oct 8 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Friedemann Vogel).- The second-largest union in Germany called for a public transport strike on Thursday in Germany that has led to the closure of the subway and bus services affecting millions of Germans. The union calls for a new collective wage agreement for its nearly 87,000 employees.FOOTAGE OF THE DORTMUND METRO ON THURSDAY.

With German train drivers on strike, services across the capital Berlin remain disrupted and intermittent, with cancellations and reduced services seen across both local and regional train journeys. Disruption is expected across the country as a result of the train drivers' union's latest salvo in an escalating dispute over working conditions. It is their second walkout in weeks -- in mid-November, train drivers staged a 20-hour strike that led to the cancellation of some 80 percent of long-distance trains nationwide. IMAGES
