Strikes are a regular occurrence in Europe, as employees withhold their labour to fight for better pay and conditions.

Walkouts are sometimes planned months ahead but others are announced last minute, showing that it always pays to check before you travel.

Luckily, we have gathered all of the strike information together below.

Read on to find out where and when are walkouts taking place.

If your flight or train is cancelled or delayed, you will be entitled to a new ticket or compensation. Read our guide for the full details.

Netherlands: Public transport strike in September

A public transport strike hits Netherlands’ biggest cities on 11 September – a day earlier than initially planned – with more walkouts possible.

It comes ahead of the Cabinet’s budget proposal, which workers hope will include plans to allow those in physically demanding jobs to retire earlier.

Services in Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam will be impacted. However, for safety reasons, a court ordered that minimum train services must still run between Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Centraal during the rail strike, which was set to last from 4-8am.

Portugal: Lisbon transport strike in September

Public transport workers at Carris, which operates Lisbon‘s buses, trams and funiculars, plan to walk out on 18 September.

The strike is expected to begin at 10pm the night before and end at midnight, unless it is called off following talks with the transport operator.

Minimum services for disabled people, safety and emergency services will still run.

Italy: Nationwide public transport strike

Public transport passengers in Italy may face delays and cancellations on 20 September as a 24-hour strike takes place.

Staff at bus, tram and commuter train operators around the country plan to walk out over pay and working conditions.

If you know of a big strike happening in your country that we have missed, we’d love to hear from you via Twitter.
