Agreement in principle between TNT and unions on collective agreement on employment mobility

TNT and the unions (ABVAKABO FNV, CNV Publieke Zaak, BVPP and VPP) today reached agreement in principle on a new collective agreement on employment mobility. This new employment mobility agreement will make it possible to deal with the consequences of the impending reorganisations in a socially responsible manner.

The collective agreement on mobility applies to some 60,000 TNT employees in the Netherlands and runs until 1 January 2011. The unions intend presenting the agreement to their members with a recommendation that they approve it.

The collective agreement on mobility comprises measures to minimise the need for redundancies. The measures focus, for example, on encouraging mobility from one job to another and providing full assistance to employees looking for a job outside the TNT organisation. TNT’s Mobility department will play a major role in all this.
