Forget the job losses if DSV takes over DB Schenker — Germany is facing that anyway, at parent Deutsche Bahn.

Following the announcement of a €1bn net loss in the first half, the German rail operator and current owner of Schenker has announced 30,000 job cuts over five years — 9% of the workforce. Mostly administrative, some 1,500 jobs will go this year, according to Reuters.
