The action targets proposed pension reforms and broader labour policy changes, which unions argue were introduced without adequate social dialogue. They contend that raising retirement thresholds and modifying early‑exit arrangements will negatively affect working conditions and wage security. The strike notice increases pressure on the Federal Government to resume negotiations with social partners. Employers’ organisations expressed concern about economic disruption but indicated willingness to continue mediated discussions to avoid escalation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=90594%26qid=4970851\u002F1\u002F0107019cd7a9b489-3b533cd0-6a8a-4f62-8d23-9f8b53ef2ccb-000000\u002FiU3rr2GG9EY6vzDJTlyF1CN-UOo=249\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa> Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=90595%26qid=4970851\u002F1\u002F0107019cd7a9b489-3b533cd0-6a8a-4f62-8d23-9f8b53ef2ccb-000000\u002FuirT66Zly6K_nvTZHqw9alGLMhg=249\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in French…\u003C\u002Fa> Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=90596%26qid=4970851\u002F1\u002F0107019cd7a9b489-3b533cd0-6a8a-4f62-8d23-9f8b53ef2ccb-000000\u002FmGxlm5V4HiCvg2cgzKlLtXa6__k=249\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in Dutch…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For  more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht  (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal mkoksal@etui.org.
