On 10 April, employers' organizations for the temporary work agencies, ABU and NBBU concluded a new collective agreement with the ‘yellow’ union LBV. This collective agreement will take effect on 1 January 2026 and will run until 1 January 2029. The established unions FNV, CNV and De Unie have not signed this collective agreement because employment conditions are being worsened. In case of illness, pay will be reduced from 90% to 70%, the number of vacation days will be reduced from 25 to 20 and vacation pay will decrease from 8.33% to 8%.
