So far, employers are not willing to discuss the proposal, although the social partners had reached an agreement on a common definition. Hard work is work with physical constrains, mental or emotional pressure, higher safety risks and a complicated work organisation. The unions operationalised the four criteria in some 100 aspects. The employers have countered this with the argument of the ‘administrative burden’.   \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>French: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.csc-en-ligne.be\u002Fcsc-en-ligne\u002FActualite\u002Fcommuniques-de-presse\u002Fcommuniques-presse-2017\u002Fmetiers-penibles.html\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.csc-en-ligne.be\u002Fcsc-en-ligne\u002FActualite\u002Fcommuniques-de-presse … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.lalibre.be\u002Factu\u002Fbelgique\u002Fon-reste-loin-d-un-accord-sur-la-penibilite-du-travail-590f4a54cd702b5fbe6edba0\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.lalibre.be\u002Factu\u002Fbelgique\u002Fon-reste-loin-d-un-accord-sur-la-penibilite-du-travail ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dutch: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.acv-online.be\u002FImages\u002F170508-Zware-beroepen-vakbonden-leggen-hun-voorstel-op-tafel-van-Nationaal-Pensioencomite-tcm183-407868.pdf\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.acv-online.be\u002FImages\u002F170508-Zware-beroepen-vakbonden-leggen ... \u003C\u002Fa>    \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
