Share bus drivers lay down work for a better collective labor agreement | Inland

The union states that there has been increasing work pressure in the sector for some time, partly caused by a shortage of personnel. The union demands, among other things, a higher pay in order to attract more young drivers. The first relay strike in regional transport started on Wednesday with about a hundred strikers in the northeast of the country.

According to the FNV, a total of about 13,000 people work in regional transport.

Transport company Keolis (active in Gelderland, Overijssel, Utrecht and Almere) had previously advised its travelers to arrange other types of transport on Saturday. CNV Vakmensen is not participating in the strike action. That union presented the employers’ final offer to the members in a neutral manner in February. According to the union, they have accepted it with a two-thirds majority.
