Is working for the NMBS really that bad?

Ever since I was a child, the NMBS has been known for frequent strikes. When I was in uni, I often had to crash on a friend's couch before exams due to strikes . Now that I’m working, I have to borrow my parents’ car just to get to the office. It feels like everyone in Belgium has been inconvenienced multiple times a year by these disruptions.

With the strike on monday, I’m left wondering what it’s like to work for the NMBS and what changes are needed to prevent strikes in the future. It seems the issues causing these strikes never get resolved.

Is the NMBS a slavedriver or are the workers lazy cara-slurping bums, what do you think?
