Bei der Deutschen Bahn entwickelt sich wenige Wochen vor der Fußball-Europameisterschaft in Deutschland ein intensiver Streit über die Sicherheit der Beschäftigten. Die Eisenbahn- und Verkehrsgewerkschaft EVG hat deutlich mehr Anstrengungen von der Bahn für die Sicherheit der Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter gefordert als zuletzt angekündigt. «20 Prozent pauschal mehr Sicherheitspersonal reicht meines Erachtens nicht», sagte der EVG-Vorsitzende Martin Burkert der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. «Aufgrund der aktuellen EVG-Studien und aufgrund der alarmierenden Realität braucht man die 20 Prozent meh...

Die Deutsche Bahn ist finanziell schwach ins neue Jahr gestartet und will nun vor allem beim Personal sparen. «Vorbereitet werden Maßnahmen zur Ausgaben- und Einstellungssteuerung mit Fokus auf die Konzernverwaltung», teilte eine Sprecherin auf Anfrage mit. Einem Medienbericht zufolge soll der Konzernvorstand in der kommenden Woche die Maßnahmen beschließen. «Einige Geschäftsfelder sind bereits vorangegangen», hieß es. Damit bezieht sich die Bahn unter anderem auf die Güterverkehrstochter DB Cargo. Das Unternehmen plant aufgrund hoher Verluste eine Umstrukturierung: Um Kosten einzusparen, will...

Washington (AFP) - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took back his spot as the world's richest man on Monday, dethroning Elon Musk on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Bezos' net worth stands at $200 billion, according to the tracker, surpassing the Tesla chief's $198 billion. Musk, who also heads X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX, has seen his riches fall by more than $30 billion as Tesla's share price has dropped 25 percent in recent months. Adding to Musk's woes, a court in January approved the annulment of his enormous Tesla compensation agreement, worth $55.8 billion and originally struck in 2018. ...

Washington (AFP) - The US central bank's favored measure of inflation edged lower on an annual basis in January, government data showed Thursday, but a metric stripping out volatile food and energy prices jumped month-over-month. The new data highlights the challenges facing the Federal Reserve, which has recently poured cold water on the prospects of early rate cuts amid a strong economy, low unemployment and inflation that remains above its long-term target of two percent. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose at an annual rate of 2.4 percent in January, down 0.2 perce...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve's favored measure of inflation ticked higher last month, according to government data published Friday, indicating that its long-running battle against rising prices is not over yet. The latest announcement will likely ensure the US central bank keeps interest rates on hold at its next decision announcement on Wednesday, as policymakers continue talks on when to start cuts. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose at an annual rate of 2.6 percent last month, unchanged from November, the Department of Commerce said in a statement. On...

Washington (AFP) - The key US inflation measure used by the Federal Reserve to set interest rates ticked up again in August, fueled by rising energy prices, according to government data published Friday. But aside from volatile food and energy costs, which are still paining Americans at grocery stores and gas pumps, inflation actually slowed last month to reach its lowest annual rate since 2021. This is a welcome development for policymakers hoping to slow price increases without crashing the economy. The Fed has raised interest rates 11 times since March 2022 in a bid to tame inflation and b...

Washington (AFP) - A key US inflation measure used by the Federal Reserve to set interest rates rose in July, due largely to another jump in the cost of services, according to government data published Thursday. The figure maintains the pressure on the US central bank as it looks to bring inflation firmly back down to its long-term target of two percent through a series of interest rate hikes. Analysts and traders largely expect the Fed to hold its benchmark lending rate steady at its next meeting on September 19-20. Fed officials haven't ruled out raising rates again in future. The annual pe...

San Francisco (AFP) - Elon Musk is at turns ingenious, impulsive and infuriating. He is also a corporate maverick, unafraid to tackle myriad industries by his own rules. After revolutionizing the auto industry, sending his own rocket to space -- with his car on board -- and building the world's biggest fortune, the eccentric billionaire is the new king of social media after he took charge of Twitter on Thursday and fired its top executives. That will give him control of the network on which the world debates, mobilizes, bickers and throws shade, Musk often first among them. The deal will also...

Washington (AFP) - A closely-watched measure of US inflation showed the annual pace of price increases slowed slightly in August as energy costs fell and increases in food costs eased, according to government data released Friday. But while the data moved in the right direction, it may not provide much comfort to President Joe Biden or the Federal Reserve since inflation remains at the highest level since the early 1980s. The Fed's preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, increased 6.2 percent from August 2021, down slightly from the pace in July an...

Washington (AFP) - A key US inflation measure accelerated again in June, outpacing gains in income, government data showed Friday, heaping pressure on President Joe Biden and policymakers trying to ease the pain for American families. The data showing the biggest inflation surge in four decades comes on the heels of dismal economic growth figures and another super-sized interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, rose 6.8 percent compared to June 2021, the Commerce Department reported. And inflatio...
