Disagreement over payments to staff who might become redundant in the future has led to a strike at the Sabic plant in Geleen (see the January Newsletter). The company has not been able to successfully negotiate the issues with the trade unions, and it also has not been able to draw a real picture of the impact that the strike would have on the production and profits.
