TL;DR

German train drivers' union, GDL, has announced a record six-day strike starting Wednesday after rejecting state-owned rail operator Deutsche Bahn's latest wage offer, marking the longest strike in the company's history. The strike is expected to cause significant economic damage and disrupt transport routes, potentially worsening Germany's recession. The union seeks a reduced working week from 38 to 35 hours on current wages, while Deutsche Bahn's latest offer was rejected, leading to a prolonged standoff.
