The story so far as of 9 November 2026
On 8 November, a 12-hour strike by the Dutch roadside assistance service, Wegenwacht, was announced, affecting non-emergency services. The strike was organized by unions FNV and CNV following a court ruling mandating emergency coverage. On 9 November, ANWB employees also went on a 12-hour strike, limiting assistance to dangerous situations due to stalled negotiations over a new collective labor agreement. This resulted in delays for motorists and logistics operators as routine assistance was impacted.
