	Van Hool Online (435 words) VAN HOOL voorstellen is eveneens overbodig: met een jaarlijkse productie van 2.000 autobussen en touringcars en 5.000 bedrijfsvoertuigen en met bijna 4.800 personeelsleden is deze Belgische onderneming één van de grootste onafhankelijke constructeurs in Europa. Het thema van het tweejaarlijks congres is dit jaar "Mobiliteit van Personen en Goederen in de 21ste eeuw". VAN HOOL houdt daarnaast vast aan zijn stevige traditie in de koetswerkbouw, waardoor beter ingespeeld kan worden op verkoopsopportuniteiten in landen die eerder opteren voor de klassieke chassis/opbouw structuur. Staking bij Van Hool tegen ontslag delegee Geert Van Rompaey (607 words) Zelden was er in België een stakingspiket te zien, waar het blauw zo domineerde. De liberale vakbond heeft tijdens de periode van collectieve sluiting bij Van Hool duidelijk niet stilgezeten en alles op alles gezet om op de eerste werkdag na de vakantie een krachtig protest te laten horen. Kort na het middagpiket komt er nieuws uit oververwachte hoek: de voorzitter van het gewestelijk paritair comité van de provincie Antwerpen belegt vrijdag eerstkomend een verzoeningsvergadering, waar hij als bemiddelaar een oplossing zoekt voor het conflict.
