15.12.2015- Last Friday, negotiations on the securing of jobs between the unions, employers’ representatives of the Rotterdam terminals on the Maasvlakte and the Rotterdam port authorities, broke down.

As a consequence, unannounced strikes took place last weekend.

Due to the interruption of work, at present there is a planning backlog at numerous terminals.

On Friday 18.12.2015 talks between the negotiating parties will be resumed.

If the negotiations between unions and employers then break down again, several longer strikes will have to be expected in January 2016.

We will keep you informed abut the progress of the talks.
