Customs strike halts traffic at Polish border
Hundreds of lorries are backed up along Poland's eastern border because of a strike by customs officials. The checkpoints are virtually unmanned after border guards went on holiday or went sick in a protest against low wages and bad working conditions.
Around a thousand vehicles have been stranded for days in lengthening jams at Russia's, Belarus's and Ukraine's borders with Poland.
Poland was one of nine EU states to join the bloc's free-border Schengen zone in December.
Customs procedures were tightened along its eastern borders with non-EU states.
Ministers in Warsaw are holding talks with the striking staff over their demands.

Hele grensgebied zit vast. Mensen kunnen niet in of uit. Betekend dat sommige niet terug kunnen naar huis. Of naar hun werk.
En waarom hoor je niks op het Nederlands nieuws er over??
