Regional transport Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel ceases
Employees of regional transport in Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel are the last to stop work on Friday. In recent days, their colleagues in the other provinces went on strike for a better collective labor agreement.
Carrier Arriva warns travelers in Friesland and Groningen to take into account disruptions and failures of buses. The regional train is expected to run on the normal timetable. Arriva does not expect much nuisance for the buses and trains in Overijssel.
The regional strikes precede a national strike that the trade union FNV has planned for September 16. The intention is that intercity buses and regional trains will not run anywhere on that day.
