Dutch word of the day: Niksen

Litterally: to nothing.

Niks = Nothing
Niksen = The verb of nothing.

It's about doing nothing, usually a relaxed activity. It doesn't mean that you don't move, or you're not doing anything. But in spirit is very much the opposite of being busy or productive.

Workers of electronics company Nexperia Philippines, Inc. (Cabuyao, Laguna) are on strike.

The management is offering a P17/day wage increase. Workers are pushing for a P50/day wage hike ($0.87, €0.80). Every day, Nexperia workers create 7 million products worth P420 million ($7.3M, €6.7M). The Nexperia HQ is located in Nijmegen, Netherlands.

Today in Labor History February 25, 1941: The outlawed Communist Party of the Netherlands initiated a General Strike in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam in protest of the persecution of Dutch Jews. It started one day after a pogrom in Amsterdam. 300,000 people participated. It was the first public protest against the Nazis in Europe. The Nazis brutally suppressed the strike, ending it after three days.
