Railway strikes looming as contract talks between NS, trade unions stall
Railway strikes are looming as collective bargaining talks between NS and the trade unions have stalled. Both FNV and VVMC gave NS an ultimatum to come up with a better offer or face strikes on Friday. NS responded on Sunday with an offer to restart talks, but the unions are unimpressed. The first strike could happen on Friday in the Netherlands’ Midden region.
The NS responded to ultimatums from unions on Sunday afternoon. The railway company wants to get the unions back to the table in this way to negotiate a new collective labor agreement. It is not yet clear to what extent the unions will respond to the response from NS, and thus to what extent strikes are ruled out.
