The railroad strikes of 1903 were strikes in the Netherlands by the railway staff regarding the right of workers to organize into a union and negotiate and implement the right to strike. [1]
At the beginning of the 20th century, some employers allowed their workers to have union membership, while in some companies, union membership was obligatory. This led, in January 1903, to a labor dispute in the Amsterdam harbor, which soon spread across the country. [2]
