MODERATORS
To add to the absurdity of it, when the leaders of the Bahn announced first that the demand fo the traindrivers is inacceptable as their is no money available, they just had increased their salaries by millions.
Millions are peanuts in this context. We're talking about costs in the billions.
Not that the Bahn's board deserved any wage increases, but for this huge company it's a drop in the bucket.
Well it doesn't help argueing, that there would be no money for a wage increase. It was clearly hypocritical.
Yeah, it's in very bad taste.
