The Connexxion bus drivers in Beverwijk do not all respond enthusiastically to NH about the announced agreement between employers and trade unions. This contains agreements about improved wages and more breaks.

15 percent
The bus drivers are responding to the collective agreement of employers and unions in regional transport that was announced on Friday morning. It promises, among other things, a wage increase of 15 percent, spread over several years, and a reduction in workload.
