And once again, train traffic is partially or completely at a standstill on Friday. The unions consider their collective labor agreement conflict with the NS serious enough to hit travelers again for a day by halting train traffic in eight provinces. The consequences will also have an impact in the parts of the country where trains are running.
The negotiations are deadlocked. There are not even negotiations for a new collective labor agreement.
Most NS trains to run on normal schedule on Monday after planned strike is canceled
NS trains will mostly run by the normal schedule on Monday, despite previous plans for a workers strike. It was confirmed by the unions CNV and VVMC that the planned strikes are called off as they did not register the strike before the deadline at noon on Friday. There is usually a registration period limit of 36 hours prior to a strike beginning, but other rules apply when there is a weekend between the dates.
Train passengers must continue to take into account inconvenience due to collective labor agreement actions. After the invitation from NS to talk about a new collective labor agreement, FNV wants to talk to the rail carrier again. But for the time being, the union continues to organize strikes, because the new offer from NS is insufficient in the eyes of FNV.
NS employees are on strike, causing NS trains to run less, or sometimes not at all. This affects train passengers, but also NS itself. According to a spokesperson, it is impossible to calculate the cost of the strikes: "there are so many complex factors, it is almost impossible." RTL Z is trying to make an estimate anyway.
