The ANWB will ask a court in Utrecht on Friday to prevent a 12-hour strike planned for Monday by unions FNV and CNV, saying it wants to ensure motorists who break down can still get help from its roadside assistance service, the Wegenwacht.
The unions have organised earlier actions to press for a better collective labour agreement, but the ANWB says these have had little impact on its members. Monday’s stoppage is also due to include a gathering at The Hague’s Malieveld.
The roadside assistance organisation says it is not opposed to strikes but has a responsibility to its members. It wants the unions to guarantee minimum staffing during the action and allow striking staff to return to work in emergencies.
The unions were not immediately available for comment on Wednesday evening. The court hearing is due to take place on Friday; the article does not report an outcome.
