Dutch Association of Railway and Tramway Employees

The Dutch Association of Railway and Tramway Employees (Dutch: Nederlandsche Vereeniging van Spoor- en Tramwegpersoneel, NV) was a trade union representing workers in the rail industry in the Netherlands.

The union was founded in 1886, as the Dutch Association of Railway Officials, operating as a social club for railway workers in more prestigious positions.

The Steeds Voornieuw was created as a union for all railway workers, but it operated illegally and was disbanded in 1898.

It initially grew rapidly, but lost many of its members after an unsuccessful strike in 1903.

[4] By 1954, the union had 24,306 members, of whom 66% worked on the railways, and the remainder on other forms of transport.
