Dutch try to resolve halt to postal liberalisation
In the wake of Germany introducing a minimum wage to postal workers, Holland may well follow suit.
Dutch postal company TNT, recently postponed moving into the German postal market due to the imposition of the minimum wage which they claim has had a serious impact on the viability of competing with German postal operator, Deutsche Poste.
In Holland, at TNT rivals, Selekt Mail and Sandd, workers are paid significantly less than many other workers. Jan de Jong, an FNV Bondgenoten director responsible for road transport hinted at a possible levelling out of wages across the Dutch postal sector.
The Economy Ministry is expected to update Parliament on the current difficulties that have created a temporary halt to a full opening up of its postal market.
