JAKARTA - The Dutch Railway Company (NS) will stop train services across the country on the morning of June 24 due to a planned strike by public transport workers.
At the end of May 2026, the Dutch Federation of Trade Unions (FNV) announced a national strike by public transport workers on June 24.
"The trade union has announced a strike across the entire public transport system on Wednesday morning, June 24. They are protesting against the government's proposed cuts to social security," the NS statement said, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Tuesday, June 23.
According to the statement, no NS trains will operate in the Netherlands on Wednesday from 04:00 to 08:00 local time (09:00-13:00 WIB) due to the planned strike by employees.
The company also advised people to postpone planned trips on Wednesday morning, and asked passengers to bring as much garbage as possible, because sanitation workers would also participate in the strike.
Previously, FNV had expressed dissatisfaction with the government's plan to cut social security spending.
In particular, they demanded the cancellation of the plan to reduce unemployment and disability benefits, a reduction in the maximum daily wage, and a plan to accelerate the increase in the retirement age.
