More strikes set for September over social security cuts as construction workers join
Thousands more workers are expected to strike in September 2026 in the Netherlands, protesting the Dutch Cabinet’s planned social security cuts. Construction workers have announced they will join the industrial action, expanding the movement. The strikes are in response to government proposals that include potential changes to wealth tax and reductions in social benefits. The protests reflect growing opposition among various labor sectors, with unions warning of further disruptions if the Cabinet does not reconsider its plans. No resolution has yet been reached.
