A near empty platform is pictured at the main station of Frankfurt am Main, western Germany on November 16, 2023, as German train drivers' union GDL called for a 20-hour strike after failing to reach agreement on pay increases. The GDL union announced members will strike from 10:00 pm (2100 GMT) on November 15, 2023 to 6:00 pm on November 16 after demands for higher salaries and improved conditions were not met in talks. The union called on train drivers, train attendants, workshop employees, dispatchers in all companies and other professional groups at DB Netz to go on strike. (Photo by Kirill KUDRYAVTSEV / AFP)
