Rail union FNV wants public transport, the police and the department of justice to take action in ending violence against public transport staff.

"We must make a joint statement. Get your hands off of our staff!" this was the statement made by union director Roel Berghuis following the beating of a railway conductor at Amsterdam Central Station.

The guard was injured in the scuffle with travellers, which eventually ended with the NS employee, one of the thugs and a bystander on the tracks where a train was about to leave.

The trade unionist calls the recent incident 'rock bottom’ in a series of serious assaults in recent months. Berghuis said; "This does not only happen on OV. We see the aggression against uniformed personnel increase throughout society. We need to come up with a broad solution with all parties involved to act."

Berghuis hopes to see involvement of Minister of Justice Ivo Opstelten and increase the penalties against troublemakers.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
