After 18 months of negotiations, employers in the welfare and social services sector have made a final offer, on which trade unions members will be balloted. The agreement includes a 1% wage hike as of 1 December 2014 and another 1% per 1 October 2015. In addition, there would be a one-time bonus of €300 in January 2015 and an annual flat increase of €250. Trade union CNV has advised its members to accept the offer, whereas trade union FNV has called on its members to vote against it. FNV’s main objections concern the proposed pre-pension arrangement, which would make it more difficult to retire before the legal retirement age, and a set of measures for enterprises employing fewer than 25 workers.
