German local public transport workers plan to strike next week in every part of the country except the southern state of Bavaria, the trade union verdi announced on Thursday.
Public transport workers have staged several strikes in recent weeks amid tense collective bargaining talks with nearly all public transit agencies in the country.
Staff in Bavaria are also part of the negotiations but remain under contract and cannot take part in the strikes.
The upcoming strikes are planned for different days next week in different locations, although verdi said that March 1 will be the main strike day.
The climate activist group Fridays for Future has expressed its support for the verdi trade union and announced it plans to stage demonstrations on March 1 as well, demanding more aggressive action on climate change and greater investment in public transit.
Germany has been hit recently by repeated strikes in the transport sector.
Train drivers at the national railway Deutsche Bahn staged a nationwide strike in late January as part of a separate ongoing dispute with the railway over working hours and wage demands.
Airport security and ground staff have also held several work stoppages at many of the country's largest airports.
