De spoorwerkers stellen:
> "Medewerkers hebben maandenlang onderhandeld, maar de NS wil niet over de brug komen op cruciale punten (...). Staken is het enige middel waarmee medewerkers druk kunnen zetten."
Meer info over de acties: wijreizensamen.nl/petitie/
De spoorwegwerkers strijden voor:
* fatsoenlijke beloning
* een betere zwaarwerkregeling
* gelijke arbeidsvoorwaarden voor gelijke omstandigheden
* priodagen thuis
* een vuilwerkregeling
Tekst: 'Steun aan spoorwegwerkers in de strijd voor beter & arbeidsvoorwaarden', met op de achtergrond een aantal treinen
Vandaag staken op verschillende plaatsen werkers bij de NS. Waarom? Zij eisen beter loon en betere arbeidsvoorwaardenโnet zoals alle werkende mensen verdienen.
Techwerkers drukken hun steun uit met de strijd van werkers bij de spoorwegen โ

Tech workers celebrated Labour Day! With flags, stickers, flyers for the Tech Workers for Palestine initiative, and lots of conversations about what you want to change at work
