Judge: ANWB strike is allowed, but with enough road patrols on the road

A Dutch court has ruled that during an upcoming strike by ANWB employees, a minimum staffing level of 12.5% must be maintained. The ANWB had sought this ruling due to concerns about stranded motorists and potential chaos on the roads. While the strike is deemed lawful, the court justified the staffing requirement as necessary for public safety, especially in emergencies. Striking workers may be required to assist in critical situations, such as serious accidents. The strike is a response to stalled collective labor agreement negotiations, with employees demanding better working conditions and higher wages.
