## Resource

Tomorrow, September 9th, the Netherlands goes on full strike — all public transport shuts down for 24 hours, except the sprinter trains between Amsterdam Central, Schiphol, and Hoofddorp running every four hours. The FNV and CNV unions are staging this walkout to protest government plans to slash social security by €6.5 billion — including raising the pension age, cutting unemployment benefits in half, and reducing disability support. Though leaked documents suggest the government may have postponed most cuts, unions insist the strike is necessary because transport workers face higher risks of needing disability benefits. Schiphol Airport remains open via sprinter trains, thanks to a 2014 court ruling that deemed a complete shutdown unsafe around the airport. NS hopes to resume normal service Thursday, but delays may linger early morning — plan ahead, maybe work from home.
