Workers block the gates of the Tata steel plant in the Netherlands

Dutch newspaper NH Nieuws reported that a group of about 100 Tata Steel employees blocked the gates at the company's plant with trucks, causing a fairly large traffic jam in Velsen-Noord. Workers are protesting the departure of CEO Theo Henrar, who announced last week that he will be leaving the steel giant in 33 years.

Tata Nederland's parent company says Theo Henrar is leaving of his own accord, but workers in the Netherlands believe he was fired, likely due to his active advocacy for Tata Nederland's interests.
