The strikes in regional transport will be temporarily halted after tomorrow. The trade unions FNV and CNV suspend the strikes until next Friday. State Secretary Vivianne Heijnen of Infrastructure and Water Management has appointed two mediators to get the stalled talks between the unions and employers about a new collective labor agreement going again.
There have been strikes in regional transport for weeks, as a result of which some buses and trains do not run or hardly run at all. There are also protests today, but this is the last day of the strike for now. In the meantime, the two parties will meet again to come to a new collective agreement. In addition, the unions are demanding higher wages and better working conditions for workers in the regional transport sector.
Some of the carriers in Drenthe will stop work tomorrow. For example, Qbuzz has announced that there will be a strike, while Arriva has announced strikes in parts of Limburg and Achterhoek Rivierenland, which means that trains are still running in Drenthe for the time being. Although it will only become clear on the day itself what the impact of the strike will be.
