Court forbids pharmacy workers strike next week, preventing likely 9-day closure

NL Times  

The court has ruled that pharmacy workers in the Netherlands cannot proceed with their planned strike during the Christmas period, a decision that will prevent most pharmacies from closing for nine consecutive days. The court’s injunction only covers the period from December 23-30, potentially leaving the door open for unions to call a national strike around New Year’s Day, which falls on a Wednesday. The court emphasized that the strike during the holiday period could lead to severe delays in the delivery of critical medications, which could result in irreparable harm to patients' health. The unions held regional strikes across the country, and the first national pharmacy strike in history took place on November 12, when around 10,000 workers gathered in The Hague to demand better pay and working conditions.
