A few days earlier, president Bernard\r\nWientjes of the main employers’ association VON-NCW had held a plea for a “national zero line”. FNV president Agnes\r\nJongerius reacted that the average wage increase is already lower than\r\ninflation, and that realisation of Wientjes’ plan would aggravate economic\r\nstagnation. CNV chairman Jaap Smit said that in some industries and companies\r\ncollective bargaining would remain to allow for real wage increases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">Dutch: \u003Cem>De\r\nVolkskrant\u003C\u002Fem>, 10 February 2012; \u003Cbr\u002F>\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.nrc.nl\u002Fnieuws\u002F2012\u002F02\u002F09\u002Fwerkgevers-willen-nullijn-werknemers-vrezen-voor-schade-economie\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.nrc.nl\u002Fnieuws\u002F2012\u002F02\u002F09\u002Fwerkgevers-willen-nullijn\r\n...  \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
