CNV trade union goes for 1% pay rise
Tuesday 15 December 2009
The CNV trade union federation will be looking for wages rises around the rate of inflation in the coming round of pay talks. Inflation is currently 1%.
In addition, the union wants employers to commit to investing 1% of their total wage bill in in jobs, education and social renewal. If employers reject this demand, the pay claim will go up, the CNV says on its website.
'The CNV is for jobs, maintaining spending power and investing in the future,' CNV chairman Bert van Boggelen said at the presentation of the proposal.
The country's biggest trade union federation, the FNV, said last month it would target a 1.25% pay rise.
