ICTU said the recommendation comes as workers face continued pressure from inflation. The latest inflation figures show that prices rose by 3.2% in November, up from 2.9% in October 2025. ICTU has also recommended that unions should seek other improvements for workers. These include increased new entrant rates of pay; protecting weekly working hours; and securing additional non-pay benefits such as shorter working times, additional annual leave, increased sick pay benefits and improved pension benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=89620%26qid=4768418\u002F1\u002F0107019b98006a3d-5c05a9f1-6222-4623-b733-93fcdacb0a48-000000\u002FJcFaaCf-3IdSnJ0Pz3cscmE7Bzc=241\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa> Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=89621%26qid=4768418\u002F1\u002F0107019b98006a3d-5c05a9f1-6222-4623-b733-93fcdacb0a48-000000\u002FefoHsEubYE3by7BLy4ZBlbMNM6Q=241\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in English (2)…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal mkoksal@etui.org.
