Railway manager Lutz's dismissal hailed as key move for reformation by GDL
The German Railway Conductors' Union (GDL) has welcomed the dismissal of Richard Lutz as CEO of Deutsche Bahn (DB) by Federal Transport Minister Andreas Schneider. The GDL believes that Lutz's dismissal was a necessary consequence of years of mismanagement that has led the German Railway deeper into crisis.
According to Mario Reiß, GDL chief, the decision was right and unavoidable. The GDL emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to address the problems of the German Railway. The union believes that mismanagement and wrong priorities are breaking the rail system, and calls for a fundamental reform of the corporate structure, a re-evaluation of the orientation of the German Railway as a stock corporation, and the modernization of infrastructure.
The measures include the repair and disentanglement of financial flows, a crucial step towards stabilizing the German Railway. The GDL also advocates for more comprehensive and sustainable measures beyond leadership replacement, asserting that these are necessary for the German Railway's long-term sustainability.
While the dismissal of Lutz is seen as a sign of Minister Schneider's ability to act and address urgent problems at DB, no new information about the minister or the new railway CEO, if any, was provided. The GDL believes that these measures are necessary to restore the faith of railway workers and customers who have suffered under a management that has shifted the burden of poor decisions onto their backs for years.
In the absence of specific details about the crisis facing the German Railway, it is clear that the GDL is calling for significant changes to ensure the future of the rail system.
