But as booked they are the talking out of their proverbial. Just had a look at Hamburg live departure screen and it shows delays of 200 minutes plus. Same at Frankfurt. And all over Germany I suspect. Cheers then GDL. NOT.
As booked and typical.

So according to the union it will not really affect passengers mainly freight.Initial GDL strike targets Deutsche Bahn freight
Workers represented by the German train drivers' union have gone on strike in a dispute over salaries. Talks between the national railway operator and the unions that represent its employees collapsed in August.
The nationwide strike was to take place between 6 and 9 p.m. (1600-1900 UTC) on Monday, the GDL union announced in a statement. The strikes will mainly affect freight operations, according to the GDL, which represents 80 percent of Deutsche Bahn's train drivers and 30 percent of all other staff.
On Monday, the union announced that it had called the strike as part of its efforts to secure a 5 percent raise for workers. "With this strike time, the GDL takes into account the many weekend travelers who use the train on the first day of the workweek," the union announced in its statement. "The first strike will mostly affect freight rather than passengers," the GDL announced.
