German Transport Strike Causes Nationwide Standstill

German Transport Strike Causes Nationwide Standstill

A big union in Germany called Verdi is asking almost 100,000 workers to go on strike.

This will likely stop buses and trains from running all over the country.

The strike is happening because the workers and their bosses can't agree on work conditions.

The union says that on Monday, almost all public transport will stop working.

This means it might be hard for people to get to work or school that day.
