Following the failure of the negotiation launched since March 2013 between the Dutch trade union and the Management of DS Smith in view to get a pay increase of 1.5% for their workers, the Dutch trade union decided on 12 November to organise a strike in the plant in Tilburg. More than 50 workers went on strike and they were joined by colleagues from the plants in Eerbeek en Zaandam. On 13 November FILPAC-CGT from France published a press release to show the solidarity and the support of the French workers with their Dutch colleagues from DS Smith.
