Post companies in the Netherlands avoiding proper wages & conditions
The study details how the companies have found legal loopholes to undermine the socially accepted collective contracts in the Netherlands and to compete unfairly with postal operators who respect workers rights and decent social standards. The study details how the companies have found legal loopholes to undermine the socially accepted collective contracts in the Netherlands and to compete unfairly with postal operators who respect workers rights and decent social standards. The paper called the “Black Paper” by FNV, gives staggering details of how the companies have been flouting standard legal protections for workers and the views of the workers being exploited in this manner.
One of UNI Post & Logistics Netherlands affiliates, FNV Bondgenoten, have produced a study on the wages and conditions for postal workers working in the new postal companies offering alternative mail service to the traditional postal company, TPG Post.
The study exists in both Dutch and an English translation (courtesy of the UNI Post & Logistics Canadian affiliate the Canadian Union of Postal Workers – CUPW). A French version will come soon.
