US EditionNo NS Trains Running Nationwide on June 6 Due to Rail Strike - DutchNews.nl
- On Friday, June 6, all domestic train operations in the Netherlands were halted due to a 24-hour strike by rail employees in the central part of the country.
- The FNV labor union called the strike after talks broke down over pay demands, giving NS a deadline of 5 p.m. Tuesday to improve its 2.55 percent offer.
- Train services were limited to the route connecting Amsterdam Centraal and Schiphol Airport, with international trains running as usual except for the Eurocity Direct to Brussels; no replacement buses were provided due to insufficient capacity.
- NS employees received an average pay increase of 9 percent in 2022, but this year’s proposed raise of 2.55 percent falls short of the 3.3 percent inflation rate, leading the union to contend that workers’ real earnings have declined by about 5 percent since 2019.
- NS plans to resume service Saturday at 4 a.m., but further strikes are scheduled for June 10 and 12, suggesting continued disruptions and pressure for higher pay increases.
