Two years after the previous collective agreement expired, unions are consulting their members on a new deal. Negotiators from FNV and CNV trade unions have reached an agreement with regional government representatives, which includes a €450 lump sum payment, a 2% pay increase from 1 January 2015 and another 1% from 1 July 2015. The agreement includes further clauses on limiting the number of flex workers, pensions, assistance to find new jobs, training and career advice.
