TNT gets temporary reprieve from labour union strikes
TNT NV will not be confronted with strikes at its Dutch mail delivery operations starting Friday, a spokesman for the Abvakabo FNV trade union said.
‘TNT has indicated that there is room for compromise regarding our demands,’ said the spokesman.
‘The Friday ultimatum is therefore off the table and we await what TNT will offer next Tuesday, when we will enter a new round of negotiations to see how far the company is willing to compromise.’
The union did add that it will set a new ultimatum if TNT’s offer for a compromise next Tuesday are deemed unappropriate.
The Abvakabo FNV union had originally set a strike ultimatum ending this Friday. The union wants the mail distribution company to offer a new early retirement scheme and reiterate an earlier employment guarantee.
