24-hour strike at container terminals Rotterdam

07 January 2016

Today - Thursday, 7 January - at 15:15 the port workers at the container terminals started a 24-hour strike.

The trade unions FNV and CNV had called for this strike because the ultimatum the trade unions had given the employers in the container sector and the Port of Rotterdam Authority expired. No agreement could be reached between all parties about the full set of demands of the trade unions regarding measures to address the possible redundancy of employees in the coming years. The Port of Rotterdam is working hard behind the scenes to take up the discussions between trade unions, employers and the Port Authority again as quickly as possible.
